Learning Chord Positions - Exercise

From Sherry Chapman

A good way to get familiar with chords and chord shapes up and down the neck is to do a simple exercise where you start with:

the 1st position F chord at 1, 2, 3, then change tothe 2nd position D chord at 2, 3, 4, then change to1st position chord at 3, 4, 5 (G chord)the 3rd position C chord at 5, then change and continue going up the neck, changing back and forth, calling out the chords as you change.

Or, an easier one is: go from the 1st position G chord at 2, 4, 5 to the C chord at 8, 9, 10 and the D chord at 10, 11, 12. This will get you used to moving up and down the neck.
