Topic: open chords
I've been at this a little while now and the open chords just sound a whole lot better to me than movable chords. They're a lot fuller sounding and ring a whole lot better... or is it just me?

Hey Lylenbev ,
Could'nt agree more , I thought I was the only one who thought that . When I have a choice , I use the open chord . Sounds much better............

Re: open chords
Open chords do have a fuller, fatter sound on acoustic guitar. I recommend getting a capo to play along with some of those 1/2 step tuning alterings or songs in #'s or flats. Eventually the barre chords and moveable chords will sound almost as full as the open chords but for the early and intermediate stages of learning guitar a capo is a great tool to have.
Give everything but up.

Re: open chords
I agree with Southpaw! Open chords sound great, but to be a complete player, you'll need to be able to move them up the neck. You'll have more to choose from when playing a song. Capo is also a good idea to practice with as well!
Re: open chords
Thanks for the feedback!! The movable chords are working pretty good for me,but they just aren't quite as satisfying, and tne power chords really sound dead. I thought maybe they were mostly used on electrics. Got the capo and I'm movin' on! Thanks all!
