We all
learned our fair share of “open string” chords when we first picked up the
guitar but most players gravitate pretty quickly to “barre” chords and other
movable chords. Some of those chord forms also take advantage of open
strings in certain positions on the neck where those open strings complement
the harmony of that particular chord. There’s nothing much sweeter than a
beautiful-sounding, ringing open string chord placed perfectly in the
context of a tune or improvisation.

Open strings are one of the very special “guitaristic” qualities of the
instrument, yet even advanced players usually have a limited open string
chord vocabulary at their command. Open String Universe takes you to school
on dozens and dozens of open string chords and movable
shapes.
