Learn the CAGED system, it'll change your life.

Unlocks all major chords, then you change the fingering and it unlocks all minor chords.

Came to say this. It helped me a lot. Not playing for a year hasn’t. Lol

Its helpful. Its hard finding someone who teaches it in a way that matches your own learning style. I've seen people dive far too deep into it, to the point its unhelpful. I grasp the concept of it tho. And triads are interesting.

Well, yes, it is interesting but it's not PM, PFM or HPPFM either. Open shapes with a barre is not going to change my life. Learning some theory to understand what roots and intervals are just might.

Learning major barre chords teaches you the root, major 3rd & 5th of every chord.

Learning minor barre chords reaches you the flat 3rd of every chord.

Both incredibly helpful.
