We all know the A Am E Em shapes. And i know the Maj Min and Dom7th shapes are the played in the same way, (slide the chord up and barre it at the root you want)

I think im right here, but just to confirm, the same can be done with D and C shape chords too? Considering you can capo say at 3rd fret, a Dshape will still work, but effectively be an F chord....

So can i play a barre chords based on D and C shapes up the neck the same as E and A shapes?
Yup. It is called the C.A.G.E.D. system. Each letter stands for a movable chord. The Barre G shape is a painful one.
