How movable shapes work
The distance between the notes in the shape remains unchanged. Moving every finger up by one fret raises the complete chord by one semitone. Moving the shape through twelve frets produces all twelve root notes before the pattern repeats one octave higher.
The low E, A, and D strings are marked with an × because they are not part of these voicings. Strum only the G, B, and high E strings.
