partial barre chords
Lets take any three chord song with D G A as your chords. Use only the high four strings.
D 2324 first finger barres the second fret.
this is the same D chord you learned, but with your ring finger on a F# bass instead of an open D bass.
G 3345 first finger barres the third fret.
just like an F chord, just slid up 2 frets.
A 5222 first finger barres the second fret.
you could still play the A bass note. 52220X
Switching between these chords is not hard.
Now the advantage of this comes with when you have a three chord song in, say G C D.
G 7879
C 88910
D 10777 pinky on the 10th fret
Practice.
