Video Transcript

"John Aguilar again, we just did G rock, we did C rock, now we are going to do D rock and we'll have a whole progression. Here is a D chord once again we need three fingers. Alright and we will have to use the pinkie to accomplish the rock. Here is our first finger, the second fret of the G string. Our second finger at the second fret of the high E string and our third finger in between the two but in the third fret of the B string. There is a D chord. When you play the D chord you must avoid strumming the low E chord string. Don't strum that string, otherwise it will sound terrible. There is our D chord and we are going to ad the pinkie alternately. Two strums like that add the pinkie here to the forth fret of the G string. And we got our D rock. Do different rhythms. Keep it simple to begin with but there is D rock. And there is D rock."
