Here’s an easier one to try in the meanwhile…

Even more easier would be, to fret 7th fret of 1st and 2nd and 3rd strings with one finger of your choice(??), and to leave out the 4th, 5th and 6th strings.

Hey, gotta try that! The F#min chord should be easy after this Bmin. Thanks!

Yep.

Actually, you should use the non-diagrammed pattern I provided for F#min. Which would then be 2nd fret of 1st, 2nd and 3rd strings leaving out (not hitting) 4th, 5th and 6th strings for F#min.

And I too just recently learned this chord pattern. There is a secret with this pattern too in fret board maneuvering and this particular lesson helped me navigate along those lines and also in applying modes and some other theory etc. Need to work out more to have everything etched in my memory though.

That’s actually what I was doing except I did it like this: I barred the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd strings with my index finger, then alternating my ring finger back and forth on the 4th fret of the 4th and 5th strings for the boom-chuck rhythm. Just thought I’d share that.
