How To Use Anchor Fingers

I’m playing around here a little by using my 2nd 3rd and 4th fingers to create the open D and open A. That makes the Anchor Finger exercises a little more challenging. But I’m thinking long term here in the fact that eventually you’ll need your 1st finger for bars when you get into CAGED shapes or you’ll need your 1st finger for the D string when working “D” shapes up the fretboard. So - now that I’m review, I think I may just switch to my 2nd 3rd and 4th on open chord were I can during these Grade 1 Beginner courses.
