lspencerini, thats a good idea, i've heard other seasoned players say the same thing. I've been practicing going from open playing to barre because some major keys have relative minors that are barre forms. D has Bm, E has C#m, A has F#m, B has G#m. Though playing tunes in B would be barre chord city, the 1 being B, the 5 being F#. The 2,3, and 6 of the key are all sharps, so in my humblest of opinions, B is a bad choice unless you have the movable shapes down. The 15th measure of Loch Lomond has a 3 chord change in the measure, Bm, C, G. Bm requires all fingers on frets, so for me, muting strings is an issue, but i'm getting better. I just keep hammering away at it, going from the open shapes to the barre. It's more muscle memory than anything, and Bm is a cool chord when it sounds properly.
