Remember everything we learned in the last lesson about fretting hand technique like relaxing, pretending to hold an apple, keeping your thumb on the back of the guitar neck, coming down on the tips of your fingers, and placing your fingers right behind the frets.

The D Major Chord
Let’s start with the open D major chord shape. The first thing to notice on the chord diagram is the ‘X’ above the E and the A strings, which means you’ll leave these strings out of the chord altogether.

Place your first finger on the second fret of the G string, second finger on the second fret of the high E string, and third finger on the third fret of the B string. For all three notes, make sure you’re right behind the frets and on the tips of your fingers.

This chord is a bit harder because you have to place your fingers in a small area, and you have to make sure your fingers aren’t accidentally brushing up against any other strings.

Using your pick, strum through just the top four strings. If your chord sounds muted at all, make sure your fingers are coming down right on the tips.

Chord Tip: Go through your process of committing this chord to memory. Make the chord shape for thirty seconds, take it off, shake out your hand, and repeat.

If it takes you a few seconds to make the shape, that’s okay. Take a look at the chord shape when you make it to remember what it looks like, and remember what it feels like as well.

Bonus Tip: Have your guitar set up by a professional. It usually only costs $20-30, and it’s worthwhile. Your guitar will be easier to play and your practice time will be much more enjoyable.
