I've recently committed to learning key of D songs and it took about a day and a half after I settled on how to play the D chord. I found the only smooth way I could do it was the way you showed.

Sheesh. I’m a real beginner and have fat fingers. I have tried the old D ways and have purposefully stayed away from any song with a D chord. I could never get a nice sound from each string. Of course I’m a beginner and not very good. First strum with the “new and easy” D chord and it sounded terrific. This is definitely a fat finger friendly chord. Thanks!

I suppose I have to move away from C, F and G chords sometime! I'm just getting a tin whistle, and the only ones the supplier has are in D. Plan is to record the rhythm on the uke and then play over with the whistle, so key of D here we come. But at least with this tutorial I can "sort of" play a D chord already.

What haven't I thought of this? This is amazing! Thank you very much! It also makes transitioning from A chord, Fsharp minor to D much more seamlessly! You're a genius! Thanks

Thank you, when I play it this way it sounds better , but do you think this it will be good in the long run ?

@playukulelenow 4 жыл бұрын

Yes, absolutely, it is the most efficient way to play the chord (s). When things are done in the the most efficient way - left hand, or right hand - they will sound better.

Make sure you're using the tips of your fingers to make the chord, and be sure your fingers are not touching any adjacent strings.
