That's right, although the result would be bassy and less full.
As a point of interest there are also triads. 3 note chords on the 3 higher strings for a shrill tone. The regular D shape is an example.
I'm no expert but I wouldn't think substitution would always be the right path to take.
Use power chords (fingers 1, 3 and 4) as a stepping stone to learn full barres. Major barres are only one finger more.
Regarding open F, I'm still a bit slow with that, but I can hit the barred F on cue no problem. It just comes with practice.
I started off trying to play open E in songs using fingers 2,3 and 4, once that was fluent I would move up the neck and then sort finger 1 out.
After a while it all just clicked. |
