Re: How to hold down two strings at once?

There's one move that Chet could do that always escaped me. Make a C7 so that your 4th finger is on the 3rd string at the third fret. Now lay your 4th finger down to pick up the 2nd string. That move from C7 to C9 is pretty useful. Chet could go C7 to C9 to C7 while leaving the 1st string open.
I can go from C to C6 to C by flattening my second finger. I saw Chet and Lenny make that move. I saw Lenny make all kinds of partial, inside barre-chords to get the voice motion he wanted.
And let's not forget Jerry's pinky barre in Struttin'… three strings!
