Hi, I've been playing guitar for about a year and I've only been playing chords on like the first
five frets. I just have these questions.
1. How can I make a normal E chord play on a higher fret?
2. Is there a rule on the guitar for chords?

Please give a detailed explanation how to play chords on
higher frets. My friends play on really high frets and I want
to learn the same. If you could explain, Thanks.

Learn the fretboard-go to the website provided

Go to the second website provided-it gives you a list of chords and how to play them.

Chords come from scales. You should go to google and type in scales and keys.

Scales and keys are the fundamentals to creating music on any instrument and practicing scales will make your fingers a lot faster.=)

I don't know if this is what you mean by higher fret board but I think the 4th and 5th frets sound really beautiful to play on. I usually put a capo on one of those and I think it really sounds good. A couple of the good chord progressions that go with that are: 1. G, D, Em, C. 2. G, Cadd9, Em7, D. 3. D, A, Em, G. 4. C, Em, Am, G, F, Em, Am, G. (Chords for Better Together with capo on 4th fret) 5. G, G, Cadd9, D. Hope these helped.

It's music, there are plenty of rules, but there is no rule saying you need to follow ANY rule!

Here's an example of an E power chord played in different positions.



Everything is starting with the low E string (the thickest, or "bottom" string)

The first one, (the one you probably know is)

E string open fret

A string 2nd fret

D string 2nd fret



You can also play it higher, same E power chord, every note is the same, just up one octave (an octave is 12 frets higher, to play the same note)

E string 12th fret

A string 14th fret

D string 14th fret



Or instead of moving up the neck, you could move up to the lighter strings, to play a higher octave E chord

E string (don't play it)

A string 7th fret

D string 9th fret

G string 9th fret



You can keep moving up the strings in this same octave for a very light E power chord.

E string (don't play it)

A string (don't play it)

D string 2nd fret

G string 4th fret

B string 5th fret



Hope that helps you out a bit.

Learn how to play the guitar from your own house or apartment with the Jamorama online class for guitar that you will believe it is here https://tr.im/mb2qs .

One of many exciting and useful presenting that you will find in the Jamorama course may be the "Jam Paths ".As you have the classes, they give you sheet music to a song, and then 2 music tracks to get along with the song.

The 1st music track can have the guitar part inside (so you are able to hear how it's designed to sound), and one other sound track gets the song with the guitar eliminated (so you can enjoy with yourself!)

They arrange the Jam Trails in a very clear to see manner.

Jam Songs is just one of the many things from Jamorama that will make learning the guitar easy even for the novices (especially if you do not have a guitar teacher there to help you whenever you make mistakes).

Generally open chords aren't played on higher frets, that's what barre chords are for.

Hi there,

This course is even better than a personal guitar teacher http://www.goobypls.com/r/rd.asp?gid=554



the site has thousands of videos and well explained lessons, everything is explained step by step and it's easy to follow. I haven't found any better online training course elsewhere.

there are many people out there who doubt that they have the ability to play guitar, so let me tell you right away: your hands aren’t too big or too small, you’re not too young or too old, and it doesn’t matter if you want to play electric or acoustic. Read here https://tr.im/6uQr9

Everyone has their own challenges, but I’m confident that if you practice and put your mind to it, you can play the guitar.

you could use something called a capo.
