I was really struggling with the E chord and your alternative helped me a lot! Thanks!

The familiar D-Chord should be 2 2 2 0 instead of 3 3 3 0 and the familiar E-Chord should be 1 4 0 2 instead of 1 3 0 2, just a small mistake you might want to fix up. Great alternatives posted though. Definitely helpful!
