On the "no such thing as the right chords" comment -- a well-requested part of my repertoire is (don't hate me) "American Pie." I know the words by heart but usually read the chords as I go (sad, sorry, I know).This year at the annual campout at church, I forgot my book, and had to wing the chords. I usually play it in "G" but it's just slightly beyond the top of my range, so before the campfire I hid myself and worked out a chord progression in C. Worked much better. But when I got home and looked at the book, the chords I worked out were quite different from what they would be if I simply transposed the ones in the book. Worked just as well though, if not better.
So don't fret too much (pun intended) about chords - what matters is how it sounds.
