[mrMelo]

i've been tryin to play this chord
---5---
---7---
---7---
---7---
---5---

altough it seems very easy(as it probably is) i can't use any finger position that works without being extremely uncomfortable

as strange as it may seem, it is the only thing that's keeping me for playing nothing else matters correctly

please help

It's a barre chord. Index finger on the "5's" ring finger on the "7's"

[smfulla]

isn't that chord arpeggiated?
so you could try putting one finger down at a time, or barring the 7's and rolling your finger

[mrMelo]

my problem is to play the note on the 1st string, which i cant do by barring the 7th fret, neither by switching fingers as i play the arpeggio, cause its played too fast for me(perhaps thats the problem...........)

The only why that you can play that chord with the first string (unless you are extremely double jointed) is to use your 2nd, 3rd and 4th fingers to fret the 4th, 3rd and 2nd strings.

---5(1)---
---7(4)---
---7(3)---
---7(2)---
---5(1)---
----------

Most of the time this chord is played so that the first string is muted. You will find more information on that in the lesson.

Don't believe everything thing you see in an Internet tab. As far as I remember, the 1st string is not sounded when this chord is played in Nothing Else Matters.
