Default x2x247

Oh come on, now, can you guys really fret this?

I discovered that I could manage x2x257, but as written, I keep muting the G string as the stretch on this pulls my bar down.

I'll play around it, but I'm just curious, can you guys do this?

I can, but it's a bee-yatch, especially on my 26.5" scale gypsy guitar!

But I guess my question is--why? It's a pretty "run of the mill" B7

I assume we're going fingerstyle here anyway, so I'd play it like this:

7 x 7 8 x 7

same exact notes, no stretch.

I can't do it. And if I could I wouldn't. Too much work. Where's that thread about cheating . . . ?
