[G] D minor.
I'm just gonna go ahead and say that D minor is probably my second favorite minor chord.
It's just really pretty
So the D minor chord is very interesting because I feel like when [B] I teach it to my students and then I see [Gb] them play it
back a couple different things [N] happen
There just seems to be a lot of confusion with this one just kind of like the D major if you were around for my D
major tutorial, it's just one of those kind of weird
Awkward shapes, let me explain
We're gonna be using [Ab] the first three frets for this shape which we're gonna be using a finger per fret
So we're going to take our first finger and place it on the first fret first string first
Everything then our second finger to the second fret but third string
Make sure it's that third string because I feel like this is where the confusion begins
So then their last finger a third finger will be on the third fret
But it's gonna be on the second string
So just make sure that these two last fingers are where they're supposed to be second finger second fret third string
third finger third fret
Second string so from here.
We're going to strum down from the fourth string which happens to be [D] open
Keeping it a D note and that is actually the root note of this chord.
So when we strum down all [D] together, it should sound like this
[Dm]
The other [Ab] thing I tend to really notice with this chord is that transition wise
It's a little bit more of a difficult transition just because there are not a lot of chords
That have a similar shape to the D minor shape.
So it's kind of like on its own island and
Usually have to move around most of your fingers and it can just be a really confusing shape to get at first
It's just one that you just have to repeatedly practice until you just don't have to look at your guitar anymore
And you just know where it is.
Like it's like home, you know
You you can walk around the hallway in your house with your eyes closed and probably make it to the fridge safely
And get your midnight snack.
That's kind of what you want for the D minor
So that is how you build the D minor shape now
Our next chord up is going to be the easy E minor and I don't call it the easy minor for no reason
this is probably one of the chords that I
recommend every beginner learns because it's easy so
Keep those guitars tuned up and I will see you guys in the next tutorial
