Simple one finger chords.
The chord D.
Second [C] fret, first string.
[D] You can strike all the strings.
Nice sounding D.
It's not a major, it's not a minor, so you can do it in place of both.
The G chord.
Second fret of the second string.
And if you [G] strike the top three, you have G major.
I usually do a G [A#] over [Am] D and strike from [G] the fourth.
G major.
The chord A.
[E] Second fret of the fourth string.
But you only need to strike the top five strings, not the bottom D.
Again, that's neither major or minor, so it does it in place of both.
[F] But it does have the G, which is the seventh, which makes it a good fifth chord in the key of D.
[A] Playing those chords together, you get a nice [D] sounding
[G] [E]
[D]
The chord of D major is second finger [C#] on the third fret and the fourth fret of the fourth string [D] together.
Or the string.
Now that's D major, you've got the F sharp in it.
[N] G major.
I usually go for the second fret on the second string and stretch my little finger over to the fifth string, to the sixth string rather, and mute the fifth [G] and play this.
However, if you find that stretch awkward, what you can do is take the sixth string in the same [N]
place, but this time place the fourth fret on the third string.
And I'll try and mute the second string if you can, but no worries if you can't, and [G] play this.
[D] Nice rich sounding G.
[A] For the chord A, again it's neither major or minor, I usually add the second fret on the first string to play this.
Putting them [D] together again, I get this.
[G]
[A]
[D] [A] Or if you ravel with the other G, [G]
[D]
[D] [A]
play this across the strings as follows.
D, E, F sharp, G, A, [Bm] B, [C#] C sharp, [D] D, [E]
E, [Bm] F sharp, [G] G, [A] A, [B] B, [C#] C [D] sharp, D.
[G] Notice how I use the two open strings.
G, A, B, C [Gm] sharp, D.
And that does come in [G#] handy in some songs where you can go through the strings very quickly and let them ring out.
One of the other ways of doing scales is to do them along the string, and this is very, very useful.
So on the D string, I [D] go D, [E] E, [F#] F sharp, [G] G, [D] A, [C] B, C sharp, D.
I can also do that on the fourth string which is also D.
D, [E] E, [Bm] F [G] sharp, G, [F#m] A, B, C [D] sharp, D.
And finally, as you've probably guessed, on the top string, D, [Em] E, [G] F sharp, G, [F#] A, B, [F#m] C [G] sharp, D.
[N] Now this is very handy because if you have a phrase on one D string, you can repeat the phrase to create an echo on one of the other strings.
The chord D.
Second [C] fret, first string.
[D] You can strike all the strings.
Nice sounding D.
It's not a major, it's not a minor, so you can do it in place of both.
