Though your fingers's size will have a word on it, your configuration for F on the E-Shape will mean extra "energy" spent when changing for A-shaped chords or for a C7, which by the way is the V7 for a song in the tone of F. | |

Would you say that as long as I am comfortable with my pinky on top, it isn't problematic? I do play barre chords without my thumb also, so disregarding the drawbacks of using your thumb. | |
| Jun 29, 2013 at 11:06 | comment | added | David Valduriez | Thank you for your response, Tim, but my question has nothing to do with whether or not to use my thumb when playing barre chords. My question is about the placement of my ring and pinky finger when playing barre chords - with or without thumb(unless pinky/ring placement should change depending on whether or not you're using your thumb?). | |
