=== Application to Guitar ===
For guitar, we are more limited than if each voice were played by its own instrument, or has the ability to play any combination of notes simultaneously. For practicality's sake, we may not be able to finger what strict voice leading determines is the proper chord voicing to use.
Here are some charts of complimentary chord shapes that mostly follow good voice leading principles. Leading tones are resolve up to the tonic. Contrary motion is preferred. Movement in parallel 5ths and octaves is avoided. However, we are not retaining strict unique voices - we may choose to add or drop a voice. Each set of two chords are written in the same position, as large as necessary to accommodate both chords. To actually finger the chords will likely require a positional shift in some occasions. These will work for any position, with the key indicated by where the root note of the tonic chord falls. I am picking a couple examples, but there are actually far more possibilities, especially when we consider 7th, 9th, 11th, 13th, and other complex chords.
