I was reading a thread and the question of the difficulty of the Bb chord raised its head so I thought I'd share my technique of hitting it, and hope it is of benefit for others. Took me ages to find a way of playing it, as I thought I could only hit it using 4 fingers. Finally I discovered that if I used my index finger on the E sting then my ring finger on the C string and my pinky on the G string and swivelled my wrist around hard it brings the the rest of my index finger down on the A string with the middle finger sort of pressing down on (or hovering over the) top of the index finger. It took a while for the brain not to use the middle finger on a string, and I had to concsiously think of the middle finger not being used, or rather the using just the index, ring and pinky fingers. Then switch from F chord to Bb chord for practicing. Its the swivelling of the wrist that also helps lift the hand up so the pinky is in a good position for the G string
Maybe if you have another technique, you may wish to share with us?
