10th fret barre like an A
Surely you're not doing these on that 320, unless you have the tiniest fingers in the world. :?:

JDog, it's twoo (and don't call me Shirley :lol: ),

I'm just so used to my 320, I can play everything I want just like a full-scale. My fingertips are not tiny but they just know the board by themselves after 26 years :lol: I cheat a bit too, I guess, I don't try to squeeze in two or more fingers when one will do. I'm double jointed and very flexible. I use my thumb a lot, too and just smear through a lot of moves. I use a lot of triads and partial chords too. I think it's about comfortable position but also about good muting on the notes that don't fit. love those high-position barre chords. They have a special voice on a short scale that cuts through the mix real nice.
All I wanna do is rock!

I tend to use 320003 or 320033 when playing at the bottom end, but when doing 'heavier' chordy stuff like to use x55033. Adds a nice droney feel.
