Now that I have a decent pinky finger strength from all my hours of scales practise, I am able to easily fret the following barre chord:
4 5 6 7 8

That barre chord blew me away when I looked at it!! I just tried it by myself and WOW I don't know how your fingers could stretch that far! 3+4 was very difficult. I guess I need 17 more years to be able to do it? :) Wow experimentation. I don't think I'm at that point at all yet lol. I wonder how much longer until I'll be able to experiment like that on my own. I actually only seriously started to learn only a few days ago, so I've still got a long way to go unfortunately. :o
