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.=)

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.
