So I'm pretty new to this uke thing, and I only just learned that for virtually every chord, there are typically many alternate positions that can get you the same sound. (Yeah, this should be obvious). So I was struggling to hold down the standard Am7, and then learned that one alternative is simply an open string strum with no strings held down. My assumption is that this isn't the standard Am7 because it is not quite perfect, but rather a "make do?"

Also, some alternate chords take you a ways up the neck. Is it problematic to toss an "up the neck" alternative chord when the rest of the song is being played on the first four frets?
