Guitar Barre chords?

Me2

"I use more bridge chords"  "Bridge chords" are a new one on me. What do you mean by that, Rock It? When changing from a straight bar to the subdominant, I maintain my index finger position.  If you find muting the low E to be helpful, just practice doing the chord change with the shift, and it'll become a reflex pretty quickly.

That's a good question. I've played for forty years and I don't know the answer! I don't adjust the way I'm barring intentionally but I guess I may do it without being aware of it (I don't have a guitar handy at the moment to check). I'd say whatever feels comfortable and "does the job".

I adjust my bar finger accordingly. But I only use this type of chords in certain type of playing. I use more bridge chords. Just a preference.
