Topic: guitar technique

Hello out there in siber space. Hey I have a question for you. Does anyone know how Jeff Healey fingered his cords. I have been watching his videos on you tube but I haven't been able to figure out anything. The reason I ask is I have no lateral movement in my left arm with my hand under the guitar neck. With my hand above the neck I have lateral movement. If anyone has any suggestions, I would love to here it. Thanks JFS

I haven't really tried to watch close ups of him playing but I wonder if he maybe used open tunings allowing him to simply bar for a lot of chords...

Re: guitar technique

This video looks pretty clear.  You just have to work up your finger strength, I guess.  Looks pretty neat.
