How to play D
To play D, barre fret 2 across G–E with finger 1, leave A open.
Tips
- Use finger 1 as a barre on fret 2 across G–E.
- Keep A open.
- If the barre feels stiff, rotate your index finger slightly and keep your thumb behind the neck.
- Strum once, then pick the strings one by one to catch any muted notes.
