When I am making a E shape Barre chords I seem to have got into the habit of getting my 3rd and 4th finger round the wrong way (Correct notes just round the wrong way). Is this something that will affect my playing later on or is it not a major problem. Cheers

It is going to effect your ability to grab a b7 and a 2 or 6 interval at the top of that barre chord.

If by B7 you mean Barre chord then, no problem. And also i have no idea what a 2 or 6 interval is let alone grab it

So what finger do you use to grab the b7 on the 8th fret - second string when your playing an A 7 with the barre at the 5th fret?

The pinkie a good finger to use. The ring finger holds down the 5 interval on the 5th string. Moving the pinkie from the 4th string-7 fret, which is the root or 1, opens the b7 in the barre, when you move it to the b7 on the 2 string an octave higher. It makes for a strong 7 chord hitting two b7th in the chord.
