    I was shown some 2 finger chords that work well all over the neck. Only problem is I don't know how to figure out what chord is where??? Any chance fo finding a chord chart for these?

    I think that you will learn a lot more by going through the work of figuring out what notes are sounding in each finger position. Once you figure out what notes are sounding, you should be able to work out what chord it is.

    For example, one two-finger chord I play has one finger on the first fret of the A string and one on the third fret of the E. That means:

    G is sounding G
    D is sounding D
    A is sounding B flat/A sharp
    E is sounding G

    G/B flat/D is a G minor chord.

    Go through that for each of your chords, and you will eventually be grateful that you did.

    Here are a few moveable double stop positions that can be played on any adjacent pair of strings. You'll need to know what the chord tones are to find them.

    R3- 52 C
    3R- 23 F
    35= 62 A
    53- 24 D
    R5- 22 A
    5R- 42 E

    PS, the chord names provided in my above post are for the GD pair of strings.
