This F chord I still struggle to form cleanly, but I’m trying:
This Am chord I had seen Doc Watson use, but I always figured my fingers were too small until I tried it: Alternate picking the bass notes is easy from this position, too. With the 3rd taken out of the high E string, it’s almost a power chord, and hitting all 6 strings gives a big booming C that works well for progressive bluegrass. He encouraged it both because of the economy of motion and because picking up two strings with one fingertip frees up a finger for chord embellishments. This is probably pretty basic stuff, but since I didn’t manage to figure it out on my own, I’ll share it.įretting two strings with one fingertip was one of the first technique lessons I got from my current mentor. This isn’t really about alternate chords so much as alternate fingerings.
