FUN D Chord Strength Exercise [beginner guitar lesson]

The D chord is an essential beginner guitar chord. No matter what music you play, it'll come up. That's why I created this FUN D chord strength exercise.
This D chord strength exercise will help you play the D chord accurately and efficiently.

This exercise is doubly fun because it's musical. It relies on taking the D chord shape to different areas of the fretboard. After leaning this exercise and using it, your fingers will gain the strength, confidence, and dexterity to easily play the D chord time and time again.

If you're struggling to learn or play the D chord, my D chord exercise should help certain pain-points like weak fingers, tender callouses, and it will even help you memorize the D chord.

Most useful chord of all. So easy to play out of the D chord. All the stings are right there.

The d chord is excellent cause even a step further u can start hammering on/off the d on the d&a in the 3rd fret which is prolly my favorite thing to do with a d chord

I am a beginner and I'm about to pack up my guitar because of this &$%^ D chord!! I just can't get it. :( My fingers are cramping up, I can't spread them out enough, I am leaning on all of the strings. I'm only making noise, not music. I feel like a complete idiot and a failure and starting to wonder if my dream of playing the guitar was ever meant to come true. BUT - I am going to try this method and keep practicing. Maybe it will magically come out of my fingers!!! Thank you.

Can you recommend reasonable expense, good quality metronome, that has good volume

[ladenbin]

Doesn't this come before the solo in stairway to heaven?

[jimmyhines]

Why can't I get this chord to ring clean, this chord is a bastard.

I figured this one out myself on a John Lennon tune! That was a tip, not a lesson. Seriously Tony???
