Andy you are a great teacher. Your tutorials are clear and easy to follow. Now if I can just get my fingers to do what they are suppose to! You make it look so easy. Take care!

Spent about 20 minutes failing to get it on my own and after watching 1 minute and 45 seconds of this I get it flawlessly, thanks very much.

The ring finger stops the 6th string from ringing out for me

Thank you sir u helped me so much I thought of giving up this chord... but u taught me I can't thank u enough

[ShadoOoni]

I was about to give up playing this chord cause it was so hard, until I saw your video to figure out that my fingers were parallel to the Freds which made it really hard for me to play it.

Thank you so much, Andy! I've been struggling for a couple of days to play a clean D chord.. With your video and finally with a correct finger positioning, I managed :)

Another day of learning the D🤯 been trying for months and can't hit it clean🤯 you're explanation is spot on but my problem is my 2nd finger, just can't hold it down clean🤯 Great videos and support by the way👏
