Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, click this link (fngt.gq). That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask Crazy, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then you can donate.

It's kinda important!

I was playing my new guitar for a bit, pretending to be new. It's also an excuse to get rid of a few bad habits. I tend to fret the A chord funny and I'm a little slow on the G when I don't use my pointer finger. I haven't practiced either properly lately.

I dont know how you fret the A chord, but I do it with just my index finger on the D, G, & B strings and somehow the E string is able to ring out, so that's how I play it, unless I need an A minor or 7th

Yeah, it should just be a mini barre. If I go back to my old habits, I fret it with three fingers. They're all crammed in there, with the middle finger being the top-most finger.

I've never played my A like that. I see Chris doing that, and he does it because he has a really hard time for some reason laying his fingers flat on the strings. He just simply can not play a C barred power chord, or B or D or any of them. I dont get but don't need to.
