Hi Mike,

another question for this song.

G Minor chord:

the barre is created by finger 1 at third fret and covers all six strings.

Fingers 3 and 4 cover the A and D strings. [br]finger 2 is not used.

B flat Major

version 1

finger 1 just makes contact with A string

Pinky barres strings DGB

version 2 B flat Major

finger 1 creates the barre covering strings 5 to 1

fingers 2,3,4 cover DGB strings at third fret.

I think I will use version 2

I know the F major chord

in order to push the wrist forward is it better to push with elbow

also dropping the shoulder.

thanks for your time. The camera angles promoted this question.

Hi Martin, yes your descriptions of how to finger those chords are correct!

Although - I'm not sure which song this is, as it is not Knocking On Heavens Door.
