Right now they don't seem to want to do what I tell them, but it does seem to get a little easier each time I pick it up.
I have played around with power chords, it seems like they are pretty fun to play. I'll give that sequence a try and see what I get. I'll bet it won't be pretty but I'll try it anyway, no other way to learn.
I don't believe I have ever said how many fingers I have. Perhaps I'll grow a few more as apparently have one or two extra would be useful.
I'm not sure how well this is gonna work in text. Listen to Hendrix play All Along The Watchtower.
Now, your count is 7th fret, 1 2; 5th fret, and a 1 2 3; 3rd fret, 1 2; 5th fret, and a 1 2 3. Then, just repeat that. Play it over and over again until you get bored playing the song. It pretty much (can) go on like that for the whole thing. But, use a pentatonic on the 7th and you can lay down a pretty bitchin' solo, here and there, and nobody will be the wiser.
If you want to play it like Bob Dylan, it's actually those same chords - but they're played open. Bm(something), A minor (or an A works just fine) and G.
You can cheat the G chord, but you shouldn't learn this.
Learning this is a bad idea.
If you loop your thumb over the third fret - so that you're fretting the low E with your thumb - then mute the next string by touching it but not touching it hard enough to make it fret or buzz, and then just use your pointer on the third fret on the high E string.
Don't learn that. That's a horrible thing to learn.
