All great answers to a very common problem.
I myself don't play the low E like danspr, mainly because it fits into what I like (sounds OK to me)
Keep in mind your next chord and the chord before as you want to be able to get to the next or get from the previous chord easily, and if using the same shape for placing your fingers then your music will flow better and more quickly as your fingers "learn " these new shapes.

Jessica<3 is correct in using the Chordie tab page as you can refresh the page to get your variations as you need them ... but be aware that you need to fit the sound of your chord into the pitch of your song (I do anyway, its an ear thing) If you can stay in the same relative area on your fretboard its best to.

As Jerome says "It really is the jumping off point for the next level of playing for you. It will open up the neck."

Stay with it and one day it will just happen and you'll be the one doing the advising thinking "this is so easy"

Lastly, there's heaps of advice available here on CHORDIE, just ask.

All the best mate

Never ever too old my friend, I'm 45 and am very happy (I should say my wife is very happy, she has to listen to me) with the progress I'm making.

My two boys used to make me look so bad, as the guys picked up guitar in no time at all but as long as you don't set your targets too high too soon you will have no problem at all.
Just keep at it, try to get some mates into it and you will amaze yourself.
I taped my earliest efforts and re tape every so often, then play them back at times ....
I have definitely progressed. Still get stuck but thats what Chordie is for.

It doesn't really matter what you have just pick it up and play it.

I have several, two Ibanez IC300 (one signed by Paul Stanley himself), an Ace Frehley Epiphone Les Paul (trans black), a Slivertone PSSN2 and a Silvertone Monarch (the Silvertones are both designed by Paul Stanley) lastly an Ibanez AEG10 acoustic/electric with cutaway.
I'm more of a collector, if you can't guess that already, but have played over the past 4/5 years and am now getting really serious about it.

It doesn't really matter what you have just pick it up and play it.

Great to see another guitarist from Perth, here on Chordie. I'm from Perth, Australia.
45 years old and love guitars so much I bought 3 before I decided to give them a bash.
Am a huge KISS fan, hence the username, but anything that sounds sweet to my ear is what I want to play.
Take care all
