Hey Everyone,[br][br]I wonder if anyone could offer me some advice. [br][br]I am currently on guitar fundamentals 2 and feel I am making really good progress. I am becoming very comfortable with open chords and I am also getting pretty copmfortable with barre chords, I am currently working on the barre chords section. [br][br]However, I did have a quick question regarding the fingering of the E minor chord. For example, I have been currently learning to play 'Bad Things' by Jace Everett. The main chord progression contains a switch from E minor to B7, both open chords. I have noticed that some people play the E minor for this change with the middle and ring finger as opposed to the index and middle finger. I can play the chord both ways and can switch from E minor to B7 with both the index and middle finger method and also the middle and ring finger method. However, I find that the middle and ring finger method is much smoother when transitioning to a B7. Can I mix and match the two shapes or should I stick to the traditional index finger and middle finger method?

Perhaos I am overthinking this, but if anyone could offer me some advice I would be very grateful.[br][br]Kind Regards

Tim
