Re: Playing question
Here's a little exercise that can possibly help. Learn a few different positions for each chord in the song you are playing. Now, when you chop the rhythm, change chord positions each time. For example, for a song in G. chop 7-5-2-3, 7-5-5-7, 7-9-10-x, for the G, 5-2-3-x, 5-5-7-8, 12-10-7-8, 12-10-10-12 for the C and 2-4-5-x, 7-4-5-x, 7-7-9-10 for the D. Practice changing the fingerings to each different chord for each chop. This will help you gain muscle memory for the chord shapes, then you will be able to come up with fills and tremolos, etc. and go right back to chopping.
