Default Finally got a blister on my little finger

And I thought all those stories about bleeding fingertips and blisters were mostly hogwash...
Both my little fingers are crooked and partly frozen due to arthritis.
So I don't play barre chords or use my fretting hand pinkie for much at all.
However I have been determined to learn this little Bm chord.
Surprise, I awoke with a sore little blister on the tip of my left pinkie.

there is an even easier little Bm shape at the 7th fret:

XXX777
or
XX9777

You only get that when you also get a blister on your thumb.

That looks like the same chord printout I've got from my time spent on JamPlay...

Yeah, my pinky was a little sore from that one too, but I can fret it pretty clean and painlessly now...I still use a few cheater B's though...

I think that is where I got it from...?
I reverse the third and fourth fingers though.
I don't know why I do that either.

I just picked up a guitar and realized that somewhere along the line I've reversed the same 2 fingers...must have been a while because I landed it that way without thinking...if it ain't broke...
