I just got it into my head that I could be playing this chord much more efficiently. Instead of playing it 1/2/3 it would be 2/3/4. This allows me a really fast and efficient transition from G to G7 which is very common. I've really struggled with this transition and I'm somewhat convinced it's always going to be a difficult one for me with these old fingers and old brain. So this makes it a snap. Also going from G to E7 becomes a snap. There are other advantages it seems.
If this is all true then it's a big benefit for me. The difficulty arises from the fact that being fairly new and having my G chord be an automatic move now It's frustrating to have to slow everything down and relearn one of my most dependable chord shapes however difficult the transitions are.
So, before I completely embark on this somewhat scary move into a new chord shaping I want to know what you all think of this idea? Any drawbacks? I think I can make the change within a week if I dedicate myself to it but I'd like to be reassured that this will work for me. Thanks for your imput.
