If you use negative feedback from the collector to the base then the input impedance becomes low.
But if you use negative feedback with an unbypassed emitter resistor then the input impedance becomes high.
The emitter resistor reduces the differences of Vbe of different transistors and the differences of hFE. If unbypassed, the emitter resistor reduces the AC voltage gain, reduces distortion and increases bandwidth.
I can't remember and don't care if it is called series or shunt or voltage or current feedback.
