How To Make Chords Sound Better

You can play chords just as the are written down, but often they sound better with just a little change of finger placement. When you play these in most songs you'll have to switch between the regular chord and the modified chord. Often when you do this your chord turns 5th chord or something like that, but don't worry, they're almost the same thing. Here's a few examples:

-Instead of putting your ring finger on the 3rd fret on the bottom string for C, you can put it on the 7th or 5th.
-On your G, you can put your pinkie on the the 5th or 3rd fret on the bottom string instead of the 2nd.
-You can take you middle finger of on your F so there's just your pointer finger on the 1st fret 3rd string.
-Put your ring finger on the 3rd fret 3rd string or leave the 3rd string open.

Of course you can find your own, theses just for examples. Have fun!
