Hi Howardmark

I #

my pinky as no movement to but is fused in a L shape so some chords i can play with it.

But for the B barre chord I have tought myself to play using 2 fingers holding down 3 strings with the third finger and the root ie 5 string with the index finger i dont worry to much if I mute the high E string you can play major barre chords all down the neck that way?

For the Bm I substitute a Bm7 barre chord?

I got myself a book with jazz chords a lot of them are 3 or 4 string chords much easier to get the shapes.

More challenging are scales for me.

hope this helps
