Neapolitan

I know those chords can be hard to finger properly so I work my way around them. There are different things you can do to avoid them. Substitute a open chords or use 7th chord. For example if you are playing a B chord, which usually crops up in in the key of E substitute a B7th and if you were playing a Blues progression it would be I, IV, V7th anyway. Play the chord in another position, like an A chord at the fifth fret. Other chords like the C chord you can substitute an open C chord, same with the D and E. All other chords you can sub power chords (Root, fifth, octave) here's a graph of them:
