Not actually making a chord, but I can stretch my hand that wide.

EDIT: Sorry, it's 7 from 1st and 8 from 12th.

Represent

I don't know if I learned it here or somewhere else, but I know a lot of people who play it that way.

that is exactly how I play it guru and I agree it sounds just fine. Could someone post a picture of the "proper" way to play that chord? I would love to learn it

Garrison G-10 Ce

This little Gem I play is from a relativley "new" guitar from a company called Garrison. The company is Canadian & use a unique bracing system to sustain the sound. Coupled with Elixirs this guitar sounds great. Beautiful Tone & excellent resonance. The recording doesn't give the guitar justice because it was taken with a digital camera.

Anyway, they are great, cheap guitars that are ALL wood. No laminate with a slight gloss.

I've read about them, last I checked they were only making dreadnaughts. I prefer a more curvy guitar myself but it sounds good for a quick clip. I wish I knew how to put up a song. I'd like to get some feedback in the critiquing board

Thank you! That's exactly how I play it and it sounds just fine. I'm almost 100% sure I've seen Dave play it that way as well.

I have certainly have seen him play it that way. I didn't know there was another way?
