Guitar chord finger placement help.

[crystalklear64]

Fellow guitar players... explain to me how to do a:

-----
--8--
--9--
--9--
--5--
-----

Fingers do not reach that far :'(

I can almost do it with pointer on 5, hit both the 9's with my pinky, and the 8 with my ring finger, but this is one of the most awkward chords I've run into.

Whats the "correct" way to do this?

seems like quite a reach...i would just change the fingering to this:

------3-----
------5-----
------4-----
------0-----
-------------
-------------

You just have to stretch out the fingers. I found using the ring and pinky finger on the two nines, and the middle finger on the 8 more comfortable.

That's nothing. Reaching the orange button while holding down the green and red buttons on GH, now that's hard! And you can't change strings!@
