Hi Bill-

Have you ever tried playing in open tunings? Like, Open D Tuning, or Open G tuning? If not, that might be a fun thing for you to try.

The open tunings create a very full sound, not unlike a barre chord. Yet it is possible to create very full sounding chords without a lot of athletics on the part of the left hand. They also allow you to introduce some interesting harmonies into the chords, with ease.

Let me know your thoughts -
Best wishes, Lisa
