Welcome to the third installment of Chord by Chord, a series designed to build your fretboard familiarity and understanding of harmony. Today I’ll show you how to play a D major chord in a few different places on the fretboard, with the note D always at the bottom. • The Work • The D chord is a major triad, made up of three notes: D, the root; F#, the third; and A, the fifth, as shown in Example 1. As I’ve mentioned previously, many chord shapes feature doubled notes. In Example 2, a basic open D chord, you’ll see that there are two Ds: the open D string as the lowest note, as well as the third fret of the B string. • Example 3 shows a second-position D chord, based on the open C shape, moved up two frets. (“Second position” means the chord is built at the second fret.) Here, D is still the lowest note, at the fifth fret of the A string. Moving up to fifth position, in Example 4a we have the most common closed voicing of a D chord, with the lowest D on the fifth fret of the A string. • Other common variations on this shape are Example 4b, where you take away the high E string and play the inside four strings, and Example 4c, using just the top three strings for a very bright voicing of a D chord. • Your last shape, Example 5a, is a barre chord in tenth position, with D as the lowest note at the tenth fret of string 6. This particular voicing is often played with just the top four strings, as shown in Example 5b. • The End Result • And now to put your D in context: Two popular songs in which the chord features prominently are Led Zeppelin’s “Over the Hills and Far Away” and John Denver’s “Leaving on a Jet Plane.” That’s it for this installment on the D chord. • https://acousticguitar.com/what-is-ch...
