Play the 3rd string instead of 6th string for another voicing

Play the 4th string instead of 8th string for another voicing

Play the lowered 2nd string instead of 9th string for another voicing

Example I to the IV

1)-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2)-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3)-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4)----------5-----------3~~~~~~--4~~~~~~--5-----5--4-----5--6-----7--8-----9--10~~~~~~-

8)----5-----------------3~~~~~~--------------------------------------------------------
9)-------------------------------4~~~~~~--5-----5--4-----5--6-----7--8-----9--10~~~~~~-
10)------------5-----------------------------------------------------------------------

1 . . 2 . . 3 . . 4 . . 1 . . 2 . . 3 . . 4 . . 1 . .

Try sliding some/all of the notes from 5th to 10th fret.
