Advanced guitar chords may rely on the use of open strings alongside strings fretted in higher positions. For example fretting the E-barre shape on the fifth fret without the barre allows the open E, A and E to ring alongside the higher position E, A and C#. The strumming on the middle section of "Stairway to Heaven" is played using such chords ...

In contrast, a chord is in open harmony (also called open position or open structure [1]) if there is more than an octave between the top and bottom notes. The more general term spacing describes how far apart the notes in a chord are voiced. A triad in close harmony has compact spacing, while one in open harmony has wider spacing.
Additional chords can be generated with drop-2 (or drop-3) voicing, which are discussed for standard tuning's implementation of dominant seventh chords (below). Johnny Marr is known for providing harmony by playing arpeggiated chords. When providing harmony in accompanying a melody, guitarists may play chords all-at-once or as arpeggios.
Simulates the top four strings, followed by the second-from-bottom string on top, raised a whole step (the F ♯ representing both the top and bottom E). It makes playing in the key of A major easier, though chord fingerings have to be altered unless the strings are rearranged to F ♯-B-E-A-C ♯. Open G tuning – G-d-g-b-d'
The following three chords are all C-major triads in root position with different voicings. The first is in close position (the most compact voicing), while the second and third are in open position (that is, with wider spacing). Notice also that the G is doubled at the octave in the third chord; that is, it appears in two different octaves.
For example, when the current chord is an E major and the next is an F ♯ major, the guitarist barres the open E major up two frets (two semitones) from the open position to produce the barred F ♯ major chord. Such chords are hard to play for beginners due to the pressing of multiple strings with a single finger.
The guitalele combines the portability of a ukulele, due to its small size, with the six single strings and resultant chord possibilities of a classical guitar. It may include a built-in microphone that permits playing the guitalele either as an acoustic guitar or connected to an amplifier. The guitalele is variously marketed (and used) as a ...
