I am still trying to find the best fingering of this chord for me.
The barring of DGB with first finger certainly seems the easiest for me, but lose the high e (muted) with this approach, but definitely easiest.
The traditional shape, I wind up with Index finger too far back on the D, and wind up with buzzing, and trying to squish everything forward can get it to stop buzzing, kind of.. Tony’s alternate away works, but still a lot of squishing and… using Middle, Ring and Pinky seems to get them all to fit nicely and consistent sound, but then lose the free pinky to do other things down the road so hesitant to train that one.
Have been trying this approach as well (d7 shape in this single fret), do seem to be able to get reasonably consistent sound without needing to smush the fingers too much, and has the added benefit that the index finger doesn’t need to change strings between D, A and E chords.
