    I started angling the finger to mimic Tony, lol!
    When I was muting almost all the strings I started looking more closely at Coach. The straight finger wasn’t working. Now that I am able to play it that way, I can’t when the finger is straightened. I pretty much have it coming over the top the fret with a bit of curvature allowing me to reach the 3rd fret nicely with my ring and pinky fingers.

    Angling the neck forward (which is actually pulling back with the right elbow with the guitar body pivoting on my right leg) definitely makes things easier.

    I’m not able to play it on demand yet, but I can form the chord and then tweak away until everything is clean in about 5 – 10 seconds. Then I can hold it long enough to play through the E shape exam. I’m trying to this about 4 or 5 times daily.

    The B chord (A shape) is a piece of cake, I can get this in a couple of seconds and hold it indefinitely.
