ok, Keepers of All Guitar Knowledge worthy of having...

i have another newbie question.

last night, at my lesson, which is only 30 min long a week, i got the rest of my fillers for my song i'm working on.

we spent a disproportionate amount of time with my teacher and i noodling with my new amph and him checking out shiner's EA30, so i quickly nailed my intro and he dictated out the rest of the fillers...

he told me that i had to play 'high position chords' for B and A with a flatpicking route on part of it, but didn't have time to explain what that means.

i know if i google it, i will eventually find some explanation that involves theory that will hurt my head and i'm tired.

can someone give me the cliff notes? what is a high position chord, and how is it different from others?

thank you in advance for advancing my theory horizons.
