I have a song I've been practicing a lot that bounces between Bb and Eb. Standard E or An is difficult for me (yes I know everyone) as my index finger curves a bit. I've been using like 333x to sub for Eb. It of course doesn't sound as nice as 3331. I mostly finger pick so I notice it more.
I see you can use a Barre at 6th fret and 0300at 7th for a Eb. That would allow a moveable shape back up to Bb.
Anyone have a good way to learn to bounce between moveable chords spaced that far that won't have your finger dragging on your wound low G and buzzing. Yes I know the answer is always practice practice, practice but anyone have any tips? The closer moveable chords are easier since you can usually brace on the base on the neck with a thumb. Bouncing between first and sixth frets makes me actually have to move the whole hand.
Note to self never break another finger so it doesn't align perfectly straight for standard fingering lol.
Other than that does anyone have a good idea of a substitute chord for an Eb? Substitute chord, not fingering. I didn't find a sub that really worked well jumping back to Bb.
The only chords in the tune are Bb Eb and F. It's Waltz Across Texas Tonight--Emmylou Harris (not Waltz Across Texas).
Thanks
