dragging this thread off topic for a few seconds, you've played the joiners in soton right? what capacity is that place? i know its really tiny... do you know the actual capacity?

and by 4th finger do you mean pinky? or the one next to it (thus counting the thumb as a finger)

4th finger I mean as the finger you would have a wedding ring on, so yeah, counting thumb as a finger I guess.

I don't know the official capacity for the Joiners, but I would say it would be pretty packed at 250. It's split into a bar area and the stage out back. Although it's small, it's a good atmosphere when packed out. They have a pretty good website too.

Their sound and lighting people are very good as well

Am I the only one that uses my 4th finger to make the A shape on Barre chords?

considering your last post, i change my mind

i do use that finger to make the A shape if i'm playing an A bar chord

OT/ cheers for the joiners info. just had to make a hard decision between gig and best mates birthday (see cowbell thread)

I do that. I play it with my wedding ring finger.....easiest way surely?

It's the easiest way if you've got the strength to do it I guess. I got into the habit of using 3 fingers though. If I don't, I don't get the sort of sound I want. It's just me being lazy really.
