Well, I moved this thread to "Play" which is where it probably belongs - please don't yell at me
I love playing open chords up the neck. There's so many voicings available and so many "moods" available. Here's some - I know there's lots more, but the guitar is in the next room lol D = X X 0 7 7 5 D = X X 0 11 10 10 Dm = X X 0 7 6 5 Dmaj7 = X X 0 11 10 9 Amaj7 = 0 0 6 6 5 7 or you can leave the high E string open Am = 0 0 5 5 5 5 (prolly best done by barre on the 4 strings) Am = 0 0 10 12 12 12 D = X 5 4 0 2 5 A = 0 0 7 6 5 7 or you can leave the high E string open A = 0 0 7 6 0 0 A = 0 0 11 9 10 12 or you can leave the high E string open A7 = 0 0 11 0 10 0 E7 = 0 7 6 7 0 0 E7 = 0 11 12 11 0 0 Em = 0 10 9 0 8 0 Em = 0 10 9 0 0 0 D7 = X X 0 7 7 8 A = 0 0 7 6 7 0 Emaj7 = 0 6 6 4 0 0 Chord naming purists will be able to identify some of these chords better than I lol. Something I used to teach students was to experiment with chord positions up the neck themselves. For example, make a standard C and just slide it up the neck, fret by fret, and discover. The C position up 2 frets? A D. Up several more frets? An Em. Two more frets above the Em is a wonderful A7 - all with the generic C position. Here's a song I wrote for students called "The Submarine Rag" that uses one chord constellation - the generic Amaj7 0 0 2 1 2 0 or D7 X X 0 2 1 2 and uses that position all over the neck to make 12 different chords. I would teach this song to demonstrate that there's at least 12 frets on a guitar, not just 3 lol ---- here's the song, remember it's just one chord position all over the neck: |

I love the sound and fullness of the open E shape played at 6 and at 8 (basically the A and B barre chords without the barre). The open E strings and open B string add a wonderful "key of E" fullness to these chords.

Here are a few patterns that I use:
Standard Tuning X 0 7 6 0 0 X 0 4 6 0 0 X 0 6 6 0 0 X 0 0 7 7 0 0 7 9 9 0 0 0 7 9 8 0 0 0 0 7 6 5 0 0 0 9 8 7 0 X 0 12 11 10 0 0 5 7 7 0 0 0 5 7 6 0 0 Drop D Tuning 0 0 7 6 0 0 0 0 4 6 0 0 0 0 6 6 0 0 0 0 0 7 7 0 There are many, many more... I like droning, ringing chords in the higher registers. |

Too many options to list. Use your ears. Rather than just relying on capo use and open chords to play beyond the first few frets, get adept at making barre chords (full or partial).

I think you mean in 5th, 4th and 3rd fret, up one step, from a normal C. I call it the Sugar Mountain chord (when I learned it). Like a D add-Something.

Think you meant X X 0 7 6 5 (though it is a nice sounding Dm6) |

Sure did. Thanks for the catch.

Well, I would say "In addition to" instead of "Rather than" The more arrows in your quiver, the better [grin]

I'm constantly looking to create that haunting open-tuning sound while in standard tuning. The triads below are some of the ones I use. These represent chords with an open G string note sounded in each.
G....X 12 O 12 10 X Em(#5)... X 8 O 10 7 X Dsus2... X 7 O 7 5 X C...X 5 O 5 3 X Csus2...(O) 3 O 5 3 (O) (Walk this down to the Bm shown below, then open D and open G using only the B thru A strings to get the gist of it. I show (playing) the high E on this and the Bm because they are useful color notes and should be suggested) Bm ... O 3 O 4 2 (O) |

Oh, I know that. More arrows was what I was encouraging. If you are going to alter my post by adding bold print you should have at least have done "Rather than just relying"
