That recent thread was really helpful to me. Easy to follow, although I don't know how/when to use those moves.

The D Chord hint (moving up to the 7th and 9th frets) has gotten me out of the first three frets. I have found I can use it at the end of Hobo's Lullaby and it sounds really nice.

Any other helpful hints to "jazz" up songs for beginning players playing folk tunes, traditional songs, etc. with the most common chords?

Thanks!
