What ur doing with ur ring finger is incredibly challenging. Its a technical skill in itsself

[@AlexNaumanMusic]

Takes a while to get it down but that’s an essential technique for a lot of other bar chords and things too!

Hey I've been playing guitar for a very long time. I have a rock metal, blues background. I'm wanting to get into funk Jazz. What are a couple of songs just starting out with Jazz that you could recommend learning?

[@AlexNaumanMusic]

Heck ya! Check out Cold Duck Time, Cantaloupe Island, Chameleon, Red Clay, Mr Clean, Jody Grind!

How are you able to play the full 9 chord and hammer on to the 13 with no error. I'm getting so frustrated and I feel like my hands aren't small so I don't know why it's giving me so much trouble

[@ikealmighty1591]

I'm referring to when the root is on the A string btw, having no problems with the other shapes and hammering on just that one. Either the D string ends up muted, I can't reach the hammer or there's just awful buzz.
