Later you'll be able to do conventional open three finger A so as to have both finger formations in your growing chord inventory.

Yep, I agree 100%. Sometimes I use Justin's alternate A fingering and sometimes I use traditional. I think I find the alternate method more comfortable and definitely works great for A D E. The only problem I have noticed is that with my index finger being pushed so far back in the fret I have to press quite a bit harder on the G string or I end up with a bit of a clunker. [br][br]

YMMV, but I agree with manXcat that you should take a look at the alternate style. [br][br]

Good luck and stick with it![br][br]
