Hey, everyone.

During practice today I chose to do some basic chord-changing exercises, and in the middle of my practie-session, I noticed that the B Major Chord is basically the A Major Cord moved two frets down the neck. And the, I started to wonder about something... Can you theoretically play any Major Chord by just moving another Major Chord around on the neck? For example, can you take the G Major Chord Shape
/--3--
/--3--
/--0--
/--0--
/--2--
/--3--

and move it two frets down the neck for an A Major Chord? Or move it up the neck for an F Major?

Someone, please clarify this for me.
