Hi all,

I'm working through the blues lessons and have gotten to the portion where A shape barre chords are introduced. He suggests using your ring finger to barre the D, G, and B strings, but my ring finger on my left hand won't bend backwards enough to properly do it. Does anyone have suggestions on what I could do? Do I need to just loosen it up to bend backwards or is there another technique I could use?
