Thanks so much for the reply! I loved your example of the mountain biking. That's a great parallel. And, it further bolsters my suggestion on how to handle the finger problem on the banjo. You say they re-routed the trail to make the hill much easier? Same thing I suggested: just take out your cleaver and chop that offending digit right off! Problem solved. Seriously though, thanks for sharing with us and good luck with tackling this problem. Keep on picking brother! Hey Bill! Thanks so much for the reply! I loved your example of the mountain biking.

I'm not sure one of my quotes is worthy of being in the same blog with a Pete Wernick quote, but you"re the writer who get to decide that. As I was reading, my mind went back to a few years ago when I was trying my best to tackle a stretch of single track trail on my mountain bike. There was a hill that was a technical challenge for most riders. While I was on vacation, I spent some time every day for a week riding out to that hill and focusing on every detail. When I started I had to push my bike up. By the end of that week I could ride up with ease. And whenever I would take another rider to that trail, I could easily handle it while they struggled. So if I understand you correctly, I need to focus on that transition just like I did that hill. Did I mention that a little later, the trail was re-routed to make the hill much easier? Now just about everyone can handle it with ease. I'll go ahead and put the work in on that D form chord while others may go the route of the D7. But I think that was a different blog...
