But not just the position on the neck. For example, let's take a B from Kirks lesson. He plays:


-------------------------------------6---8---9-
---------------------------6---7--9------------
(Bottom E String) 7---9------------------------ (And back to the E string)

That's only 3 strings while the guy in the video went from the bottom to the top E string and back again. So he used all 6 strings. That's what confuses me.
