And have you seen him flatpicking from the elbow? Sheesh. Clueless.

Regarding the 1st position A chord (x02220) there are at least 3 different ways to place your fingers, more if you include a barre version. Depending on which chords preceed or follow the A, or any other chord, has a lot to do with which fingering you choose. It's all about maximizing fluidity and efficiency of movement. Another common one is the D chord (xx0232) which is commonly stopped (fingered) like this: But sometimes, especially if going from the D, to an A, then to a Bminor it makes much more sense to barre the top 3 strings (GBE) with the index finger at the 2nd fret, then use the middle finger to fret the B string at the 3rd fret. To go to A you then lift the index, slide the middle down B string to the 2nd fret and place the ring finger on D string 2nd fret and pinky on G string 2nd fret. Why? So that to easily go to the barred B minor you lift all but the middle finger, slide the middle from 2nd to 3rd on the B string, barre everything at the 2nd fret with the index finger, and the ring goes to 4th fret D string and pinky to 4th fret G. (Arpeggiated, this is the opening to one version of Canon in D) For other songs, it may (will) be completely different).
