Open Position <strong>Chord</strong>s Moved Up <strong>The</strong> Neck<br />
Definition : Open position chord shapes that are moved up the neck and in<br />
which open strings are kept ringing.<br />
<strong>Chord</strong> Formula : several.<br />
Styles of Music : Rock, Pop, Singer Songwriter, etc.<br />
Examples : Saturday Night (Herman Brood & His Wild Romance), Sweet Bitter<br />
Blues<br />

and Garfunkel), Calling You – <strong>The</strong>me from Bagdad Café (Jevetta Steel)<br />
When to use : As harmonic variations on open position chords. <strong>The</strong> open strings that<br />
keep ringing often give the chord some extra color.<br />
<strong>The</strong>se chords can used to replace ‘regular’ open position chords or<br />

In some cases these chords are used on top of a pedal bass, to create<br />
harmonic motion within a certain key. Because of their well known shape<br />
these chords are easy to play.<br />
