In addition to the shapes you mentioned @bugmeist , I like using the E, Em and A shapes as well. When I want to do some embellishment with my pinkie, I’ll change that E shape to an E7. What I love about using Barre chords is that if you know the root string of the chord shape, then you can go up and down the neck and always know exactly what chord you’re playing!

Hi @Ron-N , I just read a post by @Levi regarding changes to the comments section of the Daily Challenges – the post was made on 4/8 in the afternoon – I believe they’re doing that work now and that is why we can’t get in!

Yea, Me too!
Must be working on the site

So I just read an update post by @Levi – the post was made yesterday afternoon. He said that they would be making some changes to the comments section of the Daily Challenges – I’m guessing that is what’s happening now and why we can’t get in!

Hi @DanielC , I agree with everyone above 💙 .
They’re a year old – you already have new strings – change them out!
Just my 2 cents

It takes alot of concentration and coordination – all working together. I think that by doing something else, guitar-wise, while waiting for the Daily was a small win for sure!

Oh yes, moveable open shapes – one of the lessons coming up in a couple of weeks – Ice Dancing – does just that using an open C chord shape – a great lesson! The root of the C chord shape is on the A string – give that a try!

Just remember @Alfred , for the E shaped barre chords, the root is on the low E string and for the A shaped barre chords, the root is on the A string. So you can take each shape up and down the neck – transition between shapes – following the musical alphabet and always know what chord your playing or where that chord is found on the neck. I love that!

Oh yea @MommaTAC , I enjoy doing barre chords also. In fact, I prefer them over open chords. If I can play something using E shaped and A shaped barre chords then this train is rolling down the tracks!

No problem @JAWS – there should also be something in those stages about how to post a video. for me, that was a bigger chore than getting the courage to make the video. You should bookmark that link – it may come in handy some other time.
