Have a new Ibanez AVT-1 with 23'' scale. I see that second position (index on second fret) and pinky playing the fifth is the advised fingering). I have played the mandolin and find mandolin fingering easier at this point (first finger plays frets one and two, second plays frets three and four and third plays fifth fret) even though I have to slide my small hand on the neck. Is the old way ill advised so that I should work on the second position? Thanks in advance.
