Maybe more like a thesaurus. :-). As you get more advanced, you'll want different ways of playing some chords. Much like using a thesaurus to spice up or liven up your writing, you can do the same thing with different chord voicings.

Something that will happen when guitarists get together is the swapping of interesting chords. A player may do something a little different and the others will ask "what is that...how are you playing that chord...oooohhh, that's cool!!".

It's all part of the journey...
