How can you use your index? I find the slide comes naturally when you use your ring

*shrug* the index is much easier for me to barre with. and i find it sets up my fingers much more nicely for the next part.

This has been asked many times, and although many have claimed to be dave and even stefan, it has never been proven or belived.

Actually, I find it easier & more fluent with the middle finger & use my index to slide.

I am the opposite. I use my ring, cuz I think its easier to do the slide directly after that barre with the index.

:shock: he does?

I use my Ring to slide on the low E, then use middle finger to barre the 5's, index to slide to 6.

I use my pinky, Dave's way sets up the next part perfectly, your index is right where it needs to be to slide 4\6. My two cents.
