Hey guys,

I wanted your guys' opinions on what you think is a better technique regarding playing on, or fretting, the E and B strings. In certain instances (in my case playing 'Everyday I Have The Blues'), I will bar the high E and B string when I have to play say the 6th fret on the b string followed by the 6th fret of the e string, or vice versa. It tends to work out pretty well especially if the following notes are on one of the two strings (such as 6th on the b, 6th on the e, and then 9 on the b). Is this generally considered more or less effective than just fretting regularly?

In my opinion, it helps me hit those notes more clearly but then is harder to get out of that position to move to a note on the d or g string. Just wanted your guys' take on the matter as I would like to make sure I am practicing the "correct" technique...

If I did a bad job at explaining the question let me know!

Thanks
