Have you tried the old raquet ball between the fingers to help strech the tendons. Oh and for root 5th's you can use 1 and 3 or 1 and 4 for the reach. keep at it, it gets easier.
Hows the digitech treating you guys?
I haven't yet, but it's a good idea. What I have found is that if I capo my guitar I actually CAN kind of do a barre chord higher up the neck. I also can do a barre on my classical guitar. Maybe I need to look into lowering my action yet again.
My son LOVES the digitech, I haven't had much of a chance to play with it... we haven't installed the software on my computer yet either, so perhaps I shall today! Thank you for the reminder!
Art and beauty are in the eyes of the beholder.
What constitutes excellent music is in the ears of the listener.
