C-flat, thanks so much for that link! Also for that notation system (why didn't I think of that?).

FWIW, here's another website that may help.

dorareever, re barre chords, I used to think the same way as you -- for over 30 years, in fact. I would force myself (after the first 20 years) to play (badly) an Fm or an occasional F# as barre chords, because some songs just had to have them and I didn't know how to do them any other way. Then in 1995 (?) I sliced off the tip of my left index finger (since I wanted more protein in my salad). After a day or two I was able to go back to playing, for gigs that didn't demand "fancy" chords or fingering, but only if I played such chords as C and G as barre chords.

Since that episode, I've become quite comfortable with playing simple barre chords (like the movable F and Fm chords and Bm chords) and actually prefer to use them in some songs instead of the "first position" chords. As the saying goes, "necessity is the mother of invention."
