Re: Appreciating the Alluring Alex with pics, part 25
And what a chord he appears to be playing!
He's doing a barre chord where the index finger is holding down all six strings. Back when I played guitar (mostly self taught) I could never do that - didn't have the finger strength. And it got harder as you moved down to the body of the guitar. In hunting down what that technique was called (because it's been a long time), I found a web site that has the exact chord Alex is playing. He's playing an E or an Eminor but because he's "barre-ing", it appears to be a B or Bminor if I'm counting my frets correctly.

Go down to the photographs of the hands.

Is Alex one of the 43 things that every local must do?

From the way the cover is organized, you would think thatJKsGirl wrote:Is Alex one of the 43 things that every local must do?
Freudian slip (or wishful thinking) on the editor's part?
