Guitar: how do you make your A Major Chord?

puly - as you said earlier, if you need to move to Asus2 or other picky stuff where you need to get at individual strings, then finger-per-string approaches work better. I use all of those variants - and also two-finger ones where I jam a couple of fingers in the general vicinity and hope everything gets fretted - based on the demands of the song…

Eh, put it through enough overdrive and nobody’ll notice. Plus, that’s where the soul is, right?

This thread has been kind of interesting to me, as, while I knew the one-, two-, and three- finger versions of the A chord, I didn’t realize the three different fingerings of the three-finger version. So that makes, what, six different ways to finger 002220? (fingering with index finger, fingering with middle finger, the two-finger approach, and the three different 3-fingered fingerings.) I wonder if any other chord has as much variation in how it’s fingered. Did I use “finger” enough?
