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 ),

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 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.

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.
