That's a can-of-words question, hey? Let me try in more detail. It seems that there are 47,000 different angles with your fingers to play a chord and each one sounds a little different. Each one accents a certain string. Example: "Something" by The Beatles. [C]Something in the way she [CM7]moves [C7]Attracts me like no other [F]lover [Am] [D]Something in the [D7]way she [G]woos me Chorus: I [Am]don't want to lose her [Am7]now You [Am7]know I believe and [D7]how In the Chorus part just playing those "A" chords sounds kinda ok but dull. Accenting the first string on them sounds RIGHT! The correct musical "duh duh duh" in the background. Same idea with the verse part. Accenting different strings makes it sound anywhere from "eh" to "That's RIGHT!" I found that by accident but how could I have known that without trial and error? Is there a trick?

You know how in the first part of the song you just move that one finger C backwards one fret and then back another fret to get C...CM7...C7. Just do that with the Am and move that one finger backward one fret at a time til its the all open Am7 chord...and then go back up one fret at a time again from the open chord for the rest of the song. Try it below, where the (*) means whatever chord the first fret 4th string makes....and I've changed the two chords in green. [C]Something in the way she [CM7]moves [C7]Attracts me like no other [F]lover [Am] [D]Something in the [D7]way she [G]woos me Chorus: I [Am]don't want to (*)lose her [Am7]now (*) You [Am]know I (*)believe and [Am]how(*) (If you have the low-G tuning, and emphasize hitting the low G string, the open Am sounds good.)
