But then the capo is getting to high up, it would be nice to have a different progression. Like in normal tuning you can use Am, F, C, G, capo it up to the 5th then you get a Dm progression, then you can restart with Em, C, G, D, like a 2nd gear on your car.
In open D, it's this 2nd progression I don't know. I've checked some chord charts on the internet, but I couldn't find a 2nd progression that had nice and easy chords with not too many strings muted.
Perhaps I missed something? Any help would be appreciated.
Many thanks in advance!

Can I assume you're referring to strummed chords, as opposed to finger style playing?
If you play fingerstyle, I can saturate you with more than you can handle, but if you rely on muting extraneous notes in order to strum.........Nope, can't do.
I play, and compose, A LOT, in open D, and many other tunings.

It Ain't Necessarily So:
