By experimentation, I'm finding it MUCH easier to play if, on a D Major Chord I switch my index and middle fingers. So instead of fingers I-G string, M-E string, I'm doing my I on the E string and the Middle on the G string. I know and notice that this puts the index finger back a ways from the fret on the F# by necessity, but I'm finding that not having to uncross those two fingers makes it significantly easier for me to chord change to a chord like C major or Am (and, obviously a LOT easier to change from D major to D minor)
I will practice it both ways, but is there a compelling reason NOT to do it this way, as long as the chord sounds true that I don't know about yet?
thanks
