[VictorME]

if excluding 7, sus, and chords like that, are all songs played with open position chords on the key of C?

:confused: Definitely not. Songs are played with all kinds of chords all over the neck.....in all keys.

What i meant was that since in open position chords ther is no such thing as flats or sharps then songs played wit open position chords are in the key of C?
