How to Play an D Chord on Guitar

Video Transcript

"Hi, John Aguilar again. Today we're going to do things with a D chord. Here it is, the D chord, first finger at the second fret of the G string, second finger at the second fret of the high E string, third finger in between the two at the third fret of the B string. There's a D chord. Let's spice it up a little, let's add the pinky right underneath our third finger there. We're putting our pinky to the third fret of the high E string, we got a D sus, back to the D, to the D sus, D, back to the D suspended, that's what we call it. Now, let's do a little more, take this finger off, the second finger which is sort of a trick, that's a D two chord, let's put it back. D, D sus, D, D two, back to D, D sus, D, D two. Speed it up. Used for many things, or keep the strum simple. And those are things you can do with a simple D chord."
