Hi @campfire , are you familiar with chord shapes and barre chords? In your example, imagine playing an A shaped barre chord with the index barring the 3rd fret, that is a C chord. Now look at the top 3 strings (high strings), and you’ll notice that you’re fretting the hi E string at the 3rd fret, the B and G strings at the 5th fret – that’s where that shape comes from. You can also get a C chord from an E shaped barre chord with index barred at the 8th fret. Looking at the top 3 strings, hi E and B strings are fretted at the 8th fret, G string at the 9th fret – also a C chord.🤩

Hopefully you’re seeing this and starting to understand – Light Bulb 💡 moment!
