Making Chords

the really massively cool thing about understanding intervals, scales and chords in depth is that you are not bound by conventional fingerings....

you can easily create your own because you know what notes you need and how to find them on the neck...

example:
if you know the 4 basic barre chords based around the E, Em, A and Am shapes, then you can pretty much play anything anywhere [this is a generalisation simply to prove a point]

but what you may find is that when you move from one chord to another that the notes all leap from one part of the neck to another over a fair distance...
so you've done nothing wrong, but the tonal characteristics are different in different parts of the neck..
open strings generate the most trebble and the shorter the string length becomes the more rigid the strings becomes and so the notes get darker / warmer / more dull [depending upon how you view it in context]

knowing about the mechanics of chords and how to translate them onto the neck means that you can come up will voicings at will..
this is simply a matter of exprimentation when working out your new song [or your part in it as a guitarist..]

so if you don't want great leaps along the fingerboard, you simply create new fingerings in the same genral area of the neck, learn them [in the fingers] and then it simply becomes the way to play that song...

I do this often because the 'standard' fingerings are not always the nicest sounding choices.. they simply "do the job"...

so.. I could make a pretty sizeable list of fingerings for even a simple chord like C from one end of the neck to the other, with and without open strings...

the most important thing about being armed with all this knowledge is that it unlocks the neck for easier and more focused experimentation..
and this is the birthing place of creativity..
