And a Merry Christmas to you, MKM.
You are so much nicer than you have to be.
Keep on picking and grinning,

On a trip to Ireland, upon leaving a bed and breakfast in a tiny village, my wife set her small black wallet with all our money and credit cards on the trunk of our black rent-a-car. She reloaded her purse - failing to see her black wallet on the black car. We drove on to Galway and discovered our loss. It appeared to be a waste of time to call back to the bed and breakfast but we did.
The bed and breakfast lady was a dynamo. She alerted the whole village and had her sons out looking and spreading the word.
As we drove into town we saw the policeman going into the inn and he had our wallet.
As we drove off the wallet fell to the grass by the road. The mailman saw it and took it to the police station. The police were alerted by the bed and breakfast lady that we were coming back to town.
The money and cards were all there still in our wallet. I asked the policeman if I could leave a forty pound reward for the nice postman. He replied, "Twenty is enough for him." I thanked the wonderful lady at the bed and breakfast and she refused to take more than twenty pounds as well.
Our vacation was saved. We will never forget.

We recorded this video in our music room at home.
My wife, Hariett (Grammy) was our camera person.
We wish to thank all of you Chordians for your wonderful feedback on this great forum and for your U-Tube comments.

Ten years ago, my wife and I saw at least two snow flurries on Christmas Eve. We declared that a white Christmas in Alabama.

I lost my teeth and my job as a professional trumpet player but after implant surgery, am able to play tuba just fine. Tuba doesn't require pressure playing of huge lip strength.
I tried to switch to left handed guitar playing because my left hand is slow. It was like starting all over.
Slide guitar may also be a practical direction.

Maybe the replacement strings were much lighter gauge than the origionals. If thats the case raise the bridge.

Hi naolslager,
#1. The barre chords make it easy for a guitar player to play in different keys by using the same shape on a different fret. The shape also gives you a track to run on for playing individual notes in a solo.
#2. Open chords are sweet for certain tunes where the open strings ring out more than covered ones. Thousands of songs have three or four chords and open tunings sound great as well as playing with a slide.
#3. Jump on the covered shapes as the tunes you are learning call for them. In the context of a new song, you can see clearly how and when these  new chords are used.
#4. You will get around to them all eventually if you attempt enough new cool songs. It is useful to practice all of them, of course, as long as you can do it and keep it fun.
#5. I learned them as the need for them arose.
First, major and minor in each shape, followed by major and minor sevenths and nineths. Add some augmenteds and diminished and you got 90% of what you will need. Chord websites are a great tool to find these funny chords as well as how and where to make them in your song project.
I don't have an answer for #6.
Remember, if you get it really right you make everybody smile - including you.

I have it. What key do you want to do it in?

Elvis did in E,A and B7 (Typical 12-bar blues chord progression) in this video:
