I remember learning to play this stupid chord for a couple of months. How I used to look up my favorite songs and pray there was no F in there! It really was just a matter of practice until they became natural and now, they’re probably the chord shape I play the most since they’re movable!

I’ll echo the advice from some others in this thread.

1. Getting your thumb in the right position to support your index finger takes a lot of the stress and fatigue off your hand
2. rolling that index finger a bit more to the side lets you use the straighter and bonier part of the finger so it’s easier to keep the pressure applied to where you need it (which is really only 3 strings)

Good luck! Eventually when it clicks you won’t even think about it anymore ☺️

Bitter A’s fan here… Got Giants fans texting me to switch sides and this honestly does make it more enticing, which is something I need to sort out internally lol

My Wi-Fi password has been “on the box” for years for specifically this joke

This is a change that needs to happen in junction with mixed use zoning, investments in public transit, and better development patterns in both urban and suburban environments to incentivise and allow people to comfortably make those trips without a car.

I do acknowledge that there will still be those who either insist on driving or don’t currently have a reasonable alternative but don’t think that our cities should be catering to them as much as they do right now with parking minimums.
