It would depend on what I needed. If I needed a full open E Mj I would have to fret it properly, but if I’m just chugging along to something and what’s really important is that big heavy root note, sure. I’d just play the 654 strings using 1 finger to barre 5 and 4. And even then I’d probably just be hitting 6&5 ignoring the 4th.
This year the diet is definitely gonna stick!
