Hey Helene, yes that is totally fine.
The Am7 with the pinky down is a way to help with transitions, as it creates one less finger to move to and from the Am7. But if transitioning is less of a problem than the actual chord, then you can scratch the pinky and play the Am7 with an open high e. -

Hey Doug, if playing Amazing Grace in G is too high for you, you have a couple of options.
1. Tune your guitar down a half step or whole step.
Because you are playing the G without a capo on, the only way to get a lower pitch with changing the chords entirely is to down tune your guitar. A half step would be Eb, Ab, Db, Gb, Bb, and Eb, starting with your thickest string.
If that is still…Read More -

Jonathan replied to the topic Master chord sheet request. in the forum Questions & Struggles 6 years, 3 months ago
Hey Cheryl, that’s a great question. This is something I’ve actually had on my list of things to create. But I haven’t been able to get around to it yet, though it is coming.
In the meantime, you could google “most popular chords on guitar” or something like that, and you should be able to find something relatively useful:)

Hey Doug, that’s a great goal you have in place. We are here to help make sure you reach it!
I’m excited to hear that you are making good progress. I hope I get to see a video recording of you playing some time. Good luck as you continue to practice, and make sure to let us know if you run into any problems.

We are going to be starting a new series on “Developing An Ear For Music”. Part 1 will be “Interval Recognition” where I will teach you how to recognize the space between notes, so you can begin to decipher notes just by hearing them.
The class will be Wednesday, August 1st 2018, at 12pm central time.
I hope to see you there!

Jonathan replied to the topic Live Class 7-27-18 | How To Get Strength & Flexibility In Your Fingers in the forum Live Classes 6 years, 3 months ago
Hey Kristy, yes, I would imagine that would work, similar to stretching your legs, where you can push them to force them to the limit, obviously not over or it could cause damage. But if you found that it has been helpful, then that is awesome. Hopefully others can use it as well. Thanks for sharing.
Peg, you are welcome. I’m glad to have been able to provide the content for you. Enjoy!
