Simples!<\/p>\n<p>The 1\/3 (C\/E) and 5\/7 (G\/B) chord options are used a lot so try those too.<\/p>\n<p>See also the second set of chords which provide even closer sounding and easier to finger voicings in C. The idea here is that your little finger stays on string 1 (top E) fret 3 at all times, your index finger just plays string 2 (B string) fret 1 where necessary and the other shapes are formed just with your middle or ring fingers. This is probably the most efficient way to cover all chords in any of the open keys and sounds so smooth too! Again these shapes are taken from our\u00a0Acoustic Intermediate Worship Guitar\u00a0course so if you want to get loads more ideas and applications for them take a look at the DVD.<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"float: left; padding-right: 20px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4De8j336Grw\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here&#8217;s a lesson taken from our Intermediate Acoustic Guitar Course.
