Intro to triad chords, updated
Here is a freshly inked chart of six movable chord shapes that will provide endless hours of variation possibilities to your arrangements.
Notes: I do not know why the shape names are what they are. Its how i learned them. 1,3,5 indicates the note position within a seven note scale in any key. Black dot is root note(tonic). Forget the two fat strings exist for now. Later you can work them back in. To start you need only to know the named location of the keynote (root) that you want. I suggest G to start. Then pick a shape , any shape, and form the shape around that root note. Make it really simple and just play on three of the four strings. Practice each shape until you can smoothly move from one to another. Listen to the way the chord construction changes flavor as the root note moves from one strng to another as the shapes change. Then start usng it, first as the tag ending chord of any song you already know stone cold. It will work its way into your life , if you're looking for a This sort of quick start that gets you playing pretty soon (without requiring a whole lot of theory but getting it in anyhow). Happy to explain anything not clear. Cheerios Amyfb Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Working those out as 3 string shapes is good too... just leave off the highest note or the lowest note.
It's also a good idea to work them out on the A D G string group and the E A D string group. . . |

The shape names are just based off what they look like. The familiar D triangle, the 3 note bar for the A, and the bottom part of an F bar chord.
Also, with the minor shapes just move the 5 note down one fret and you've got a diminished chord. Or move the 5 note up one fret on a major shape and you've got an augmented chord. |

The the low note groups are EVIL shapes to form. I made that chart also and never use it. I typically form the four string shape and then choose the appropriate strings to hit as the song progresses. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I need a new tune to work on and haven't found anything yet to inspire me.
The last thing I added was "It's been a long long time" , a real pleasing standard that gets everyone singing on the repeating phrase. The melody was really simple to extract from the chord progression and I hope to upload a file to the Play section sometime soon to share with you. meanwhile - i'm looking for something new. genre - swing /blues/ country tempo - upbeat, toe tappy lyrics - whatever melody - suited to harmonizing vocals. my favorite songs have four chords or more, and at least one of those chords is 'fat' or 'altered' or whatever you call it when it is more than a basic cowboy chord in open position. suggestions?

For example on my tabs page (see below) you might look at the following tunes (there are midis or recordings you can listen to):
Scamp Ain't Misbehaving Feeling Free Greensleeves Three Steps To Joy

I assume you're doing some kind of finger-style. You might find this Merle Haggard song to your liking. In C it uses basic first position...or close to it...in a striking way (IV chord to II7th), yet the melody line is very catchy and sews things together nicely. Plus he's a GREAT singer and writes just as well. Tempo is laid back but very strong at the same time. https://youtu.be/IM6LlXzBU6w Enjoy. W

typcially, my ears are drawn to any song that puts these three chords in a row : (example in G, could be any key) G, Gmaj7, G6 and then follows them with a diminished chord .

As to the highlighted changes above: Carolina in the Morning is the first one coming to mind that can be done that way. https://youtu.be/2DB2alPmdaw
