"So, you know all these little note additions are all just kind of up to you. You know different people play chords in different ways. I mean, I play a D like this, you know. Some people will play it by sort of barring it all the way across here and adding one. So, you know, if that's more comfortable to you, you might not be able to do some of the add-ons that I do. You know, same thing with kind of the G and the C I showed you before, depending on how you finger the chord is going to dictate whether you can add or take away certain notes. When I do a D, I kind of like to add this one here. That note right there. And then I also like to kind of play the open E string on that D, which is basically by taking this one away. So on a D you can go, you can kind of have these notes. And, this is also another kind of a nice one to take away, kind of right here. The sort of second kind of finger note of the D, so it's like. Right, so those are kind of ones in the D chord."
