Three more open chords and you have all eight that most songs need. E is Am's shape moved up a string; A is three fingers in a row on the 2nd fret; Dm is D's little cousin, a darker sound on the top four strings.
Open chords ring out with open strings and need no barre, which is why they turn up in almost every pop, rock and folk song.
E
A

Try this
One minute each: D ↔ A, A ↔ E, Dm ↔ Am. Then D A G D, four strums each.
