Sure Whistle Stop ... I'll try just about anything, especially of an experimental nature. And when G-C-D at the nut position gets a little tedius, I mix it up a little by playing the chords in different positions, to reinforce the various locations of the chords on the neck, and to enhance accuracy. E.G., start with G at the nut, change to the barred C at the eighth fret, play the barred D at the fifth fret, etc. Then try a different combination, like starting barred G at the 7th fret, C at the nut, barred D at the 10th fret, which is stretching a little unless I'm plugged into the electric. I-IV-V in lots of different keys can get interesting this way...Hmmm...where is there an Ab chord way up here? Exercises for the eyes and fingers.
