I'm trying to learn finger-picking, and am working on a song where one of
the chords gives me some trouble:

0 1 0 3 X 1

.... or...
1||---|---|---|---|---|--
2||-O-|---|---|---|---|--
3||---|---|---|---|---|--
4||---|---|-O-|---|---|--
5|X---|---|---|---|---|--
6||-O-|---|---|---|---|--

I'm really not sure how to finger this. On my electric, I'd probably bend
one of my usual rules, and use my thumb for the 6th string 1st fret... but
the nut width and neck size of my acoustic guitar makes that very difficult
for me.

I tried a number of other ways, and can get three different fingerings that
can be made to work, but need a lot of setup time (or I get buzzing or dead
notes). There's just no way I can smoothly switch to any of those fingerings
mid-song, in a seamless fashion. Obviously I need to rehearse this...

But how would y'all approach this? Just looking for tips before I surmount
my laziness and start working on this...

Thanks,
Dan
