I am noticing, as a relative beginner, that I am fairly slow at learning new chord forms. That is, to a point that I can make an acceptably quick change with acceptable tone.
I have the cafe' mug, with different chord shapes on it, and also a book of chords (amazon.com). There are so many, that I just don't really know where to start.
The reason for asking this question is really two part...
1) I'd like to know which 3 and 4 finger forms are going to help me most, as a beginner, to get playing with others relatively quickly.
2) To know which forms, since I'm a relatively slow learner at this, I should really start working on now, as they are somewhat more difficult but will also be most useful later as I progress.
The few that I know are (movable I know):
7523 & 523x
2245 & 2235
2233 & 2244 (both really easy, and I LOVE the jazzy sound of both)
3113
My thinking is that after going thru my regular practice routine, and I am surfing the net/watching the boob tube, I can start forming some muscle memory with these shapes, rather than just working scales, as I typically do now.
