Re: Different chord shapes
On any fretted stringed instruments the same chord can be created in different positions on the fretboard. There are times when the chord you are looking for just sounds better in a song than one found in another position. Yes they are the same chord but at times the subtle or not so subtle differences in sound can contribute to what you're playing. Take a look at this rarely talked about Mandolin Cafe feature. It can be eye opening to a newer player.
