Ya try hittin that chord comming from any other chord . I never use it enough to get profiecnt at it. When i was a kid my Dad would make me strum rythum while he played lead and i think it was the song Memphis that used that chord. When i got to that chord i would cheat and just use a B 5th style chord and my Dad would either give me a dirty look or stop and we would start over lol. i was only like 9 or 10 years old. So ya Norm me and that chord dont see eye to eye 51 years later.

Funny story on that chord too. Never used it much, but about 20 years ago I was taking lessons from a friend of a friend who was a great guitar player. So we’re through about a dozen lessons, all rock and blues, and he says, “how about a little funk?”. I was like, huh? So he teaches me Stevie Wonder’s Superstition. The signature riffs are a great warm exercise too. But the chorus is simple low register bar chords, A B C B but the turn around chord is the B7 slowly raked. I could not get the B string to ring as I was always touching it. I practiced that progression for months until I could get that B7 to ring clearly across the 5 strings.
 
I use it quite often John, I am used to using it in some of the songs I play, I have no issues with it. The thing I find is I practice daily all the chords I use, that's probably what gives me the ease of using it.
 
Ill have to incorperate it into my practice sessions more. Most of my songs i play use caveman chords lol.I dont have a problem with the E 7th up there but that B 7th tends to get on my nerves :)
