C Shape

In this video we talk about the C shape. It's a weird shape to morph into minor, diminished, dominant, etc., which is why you don't see it too often. It does make a nice movable dominant shape and a cool movable Major7 shape. The fully diminished shape is also nicely movable. Everything else is either awkward, or involves some finger strategy. The exercise of morphing these shapes is really valuable for understanding how the guitar works and you might find yourself in a situation where one of these shapes is exactly what you're looking for. From here I'll move into the more comfortable and common E and A shapes and end with the G shape.
