Fingering 5th string root 9th chords
How do you prefer to finger the following 9th chord?
-----|-----|-----|--- ---- x
-----|--o--|-----|--- ----
-----|-----|--o--|--- ----
-----|--o--|-----|--- ----
-----|--o--|-----|--- ----
-----|--o--|-----|--- ----
using the ring finger as the partial barre on the top 3 strings like this:
-----|-----|-----|--- ---- x
-----|--2--|-----|--- ----
-----|-----|--1--|--- ----
-----|--3--|-----|--- ----
-----|--3--|-----|--- ----
-----|--3--|-----|--- ----
or using the pinky for the partial barre like this:
-----|-----|-----|--- ---- x
-----|--3--|-----|--- ----
-----|-----|--2--|--- ----
-----|--4--|-----|--- ----
-----|--4--|-----|--- ----
-----|--4--|-----|--- ----
or do you choose one based on what the other chords are?
The reason I ask is that the latter is much more efficient if there are a lot of 6th-string root 7th chords, but it is harder to barre with the pinky than with the ring finger.
Thanks!
