Hello,


I find I have difficulties playing various chord shapes, the traditional way to play chords.


Some examples -- Am, C, and D. Trying countless times, numerous days, over and over. I ventured out to find "easier" ways to play these and others that I have issues with. Example for the C I found cmaj7 just use 2 fingers on 2 frets - A&D. Another for the D - Dsus2, same with 2 strings.


My issue is remembering the alternate, "easier" way to play when I'm working on lessons. The issue is I see there are many ways to play chords, my issue is once I find it to retain, and try to not confuse myself further. Any thoughts would be appreciated.


Thanks,


Bob
