I know that "right way" and "wrong way" are not absolute in guitar and if it works then something probably isn't "wrong". But, I've discovered an easier way for me to do something, and I want to make sure, being the novice that I am, that I'm not shooting myself in my foot later on by doing it an alternate way, because of things that I don't know yet....

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
