Just trying to get something straight in my head and probably worded this so it makes no sense at all (and I'm probably overthinking things).

One of James' comments is in this video at about 3:35 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0t_wM5nGU20) is to close your feet and shoulders.

What's the difference between a closed stance (by this I mean aiming the clubface at the target and then closing the stance  at address) and a closed clubface (aiming right of the target and then closing the clubface at address) or is it just the same thing?

In my case when I close my stance I just move my right foot a little more behind me, so for me the diference are that the hands and feet are in diferent position, if i aim right and just close the club face my hands will be more ahead and my feets will be less flared

While it's not strictly accurate to separate them out completely like this, I'd think of closing the stance as a way of pushing path outward, while closing the club face aims the club face left. Changing one or the other is to achieve a specific result for your shot.
