How to play chords with songs ?

[alanclare]

I use Multifingered mode. It allows me to play inverted chords, which is my usual mode, but I can also play single-fingered when the going gets tough.

Cheers,

I think that here you've answered the question that you posed in your earlier reply.

Why do you want "different fingerings"?

Stop worrying about things like inversions and slash chords. Put the mode on multi fingered and just learn to play. You are overthinking all of this. You have months - maybe longer- to go before you have to worry about more aesthetically pleasing chords. It will be all you can handle to get roughly the right chord at roughly the right time while playing a melody.

I am only curious what all chord fingering methods standing for on the keyboard , so i definitely start with your recommodation (and others) for multi fingered chords

In Holland we said as proverb: "don't think too much, because a horse has a bigger head"  (probably  you have never heard/read of this  )

I've certainly never heard of the proverb. What does it mean?

Hi Alan
In Holland we use the same word for our head as for the horse head : HOOFD
@Mike has advice not to overthinking all this chord fingering

To  be aware of this of not to overthink i must think on this proverb:  "don't think too much, because a horse has a bigger head"  :   
Hope you get the idea..joke

Note: seems to me funny , because @ Mike has something funny too written about a horse ...
