Chord Positions

We all know that guitar chords can be played in different places on the guitar neck. Once we are familiar with how to play the different finger positions of the chords, we can play those chord structures on the neck that make the type of music we are playing sound best. For example, folk music chords sound best in the first position. Jazz chords are best higher on the neck. This lesson suggests several possibilities for the placement of the chords. Selecting the genre first, will suggest where we want to play the chords.
