I took 16 chord types and found all ways to make them with at least 1
open string and within the first 3 frets. These are the chords which
will generally form barre chords the best. E.g. since C7 is 0001, you
can form D7 by adding 2 to everything to get 2223. This means you
play fret 2 on the G-string, 2 on the C-string, 2 on the E-string, and
3 on the A-string. Use your index finger to cover all the 2s then use
your middle finger to add the 3 on the A-string.

Chord inversions are ignored in this list. I.e. in the 0100 voicing
of A7 the lowest-pitch note is C# not A so this might more properly be
called A7-first-inversion (or A7/C#). --Dan
called A7-first-inversion (or A7/C#).
