It's extremely helpful for playing that Eb chord where the 1st finger covers the 1st frets of the 2nd and 3rd courses. Some folks even play all three 2nd frets of the big G chord. The latter doesn't quite work for me, though.

Some people have fingers that bend backwards somewhat at the last joint. Is this helpful for lute playing? To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
