[QUOTE=Pualee;5005956]I usually play it with index on G, middle on D, and ring on B. This lets me hammer on my pinky for a sus4 or pull off my ring for a sus2. I can also move to a D major or E major very easily like this (index never comes up, just slides), making for fast transitions in most keys where I need an A major.
Sometimes I play it the traditional way, but very rarely...
Sometimes i play it by barring the D G B with my index and pinky on the E at fret 5.
Really, you just need to learn on the possible combinations and which ones help you move from one chord to another, and which ones leave your hand in the right place to move into a bass run or melodic lead. No point having limitations
