Here is an old dog with an almost new trick.
In the winter, I suffer badly with arthritis and have trouble trouble fretting.
So, thanks to the knowledge I have acquired on the beginners course,practical music course, and from the community,I have a practical workaround.
Open D- capo on fret two for open E.
This gives single finger major 5th chords on the bottom three strings .
Now, I changed the G sharp in the tuning to G to keep the top three strings in standard.
So…
I can play all my blues licks on the top three strings ,plus partial pentatonic scales, and also have access to triads - especially e string root minor triads. Work is still in with triads.You just have to remember the board has moved two frets.

Doesn’t compiling lists count as a hobby?

Err….my name isn’t Richard and no I can’t think of an easy 7th grip on the top 3 strings.
The real Richard @Richard_close2u might be able to help you….although he isn’t much good at compiling lists!

Hi Richard,
Ha ha …Nooo… 
…sometimes it’s a pitty that I can no longer see the likes given to your mods, otherwise it would have saved me a story and in other situations I also miss it sometimes…but that must be my age to "complain"about such things … mayby we will look for a MEANINGFUL hobby together 
… although lists are part of this time of year… but that must be an annual list for 2023. …
Oooo, enough nonsens, I have a birthday party soon and I wish everyone a lot of fun the rest of the day…
And don`t forget to play your guitar old people instead of chatting here 
… 
Greetings

Now if only I could remember songs like I used to. I guess that’s just a part of being on the old dogs list. Lol. Anyone else have this problem ?

Do you mean in your altered tuning? Or in standard tuning?
In the altered tuning. I can play 7s on the bottom two strings,but I cant identify an easy grip on the top three. I can remember Justins lesson on partial grips.
Perhaps I should could use a 5 cord with a b6. That gives a nice dissonance (and is easier on my joints)

In which case can you explain your tuning more precisely (without capo) as I’m unclearfrom this description.
