Hello all .I've just finished fundamentals 2 and moved onto blues 1. It's going quite well apart from more Barre chords ! I'm certain they were put on this world to convince an arthritic old man that he should be playing with model trains or doing some other gentle hobby . My question is though, I'm on "How to play the blues in any key" and on the thick E string. I would say top or bottom E but as I'm a Brit who drives on the wrong side of the road, how would you expect me to know what is up or down? . There is a stretch from 1 on the E string to 5 on the A string . Apart from dislocating my fingers or re breaking my wrist, are there any suggestions how I can achieve this? At the moment I'm no where near reaching this . Anders makes it look so easy. Thanks in advance for any help offered. Eric
