You're welcome. Glad it helped.

[quote=dlwalke]I do love the simple (w/o the D string bass note) moveable D-shape. It's easy to add vibrato to the whole chord which, to my ear, often sounds nice

That's a fun & useful shape. Once you get used to it you can move it to the E-A-D strings & the A-D-G strings where it makes the bottom of a C7 styled dom7 chord (1-maj3-min7 voicing).

You can also play it on the D-G-B strings but you have to move the B string note up one fret. Good stuff!
