Hi there,

I think this is totally okay to do. There are no hard rules when it comes to how you play or hold chords, as long as it is comfortable to you, that's all you can ask for. Lisa teaches it the other way because it all fits together as part of the greater scope of the lessons. but if you are comfortable playing the chords another way, that's okay. Just make sure you can switch and adapt to other chords as well.
