all my books and websites show several different versions of the same chord...some of the formations are very easy and some are hard, so is it really that important to learn all of the different variations :?:
Really important? Depends on what you want to do with the guitar.
If your goal is to be able to accompany yourself singing, knowing just one of every chord you need in a tune is enough to give you a rendition of the song.
Knowing more than one gives you choices - and makes possible chord melodies. If your goal is to play solo instrumental guitar, you'll want to know as many voicings as possible.
Most guitarists fall in the middle. Knowing just one of each means you might need to make awkward leaps up and down the fretboard to grab the chord you need. Knowing 3 or 4 voicings of common chords lets you make much easier transitions.

Sometimes a voicing won't sound right so you'll have to use another one.

Nevermind I found it. I can see what your talking about. I'd say brush up on a little theory and your previous post will make sense.
