    To the OP

    If you find the fingering of a particular chord 'difficult', you either need to practice it more, in conjunction with others around it, maybe, or you need another inversion which is easier to play.

    Using a capo just leaves you playing the same chord 'shapes' at a higher fret.

    For a basic C major, you have open C E G and third fret C. The next inversion is E G C E, IF you use all the strings around fifth fret. You could mute one string to give you a simple triad.
