Guitar Chord Lesson: Learn To Play Nice Sounding Guitar Chords In D
A guitar is an amazing instrument. Sometimes hard to play but with easy nice sounding guitar chord secrets everywhere. Let's explore some easy but nice guitar chords.
Our first guitar chord will be Dmaj7. It is played in this way for example:
Dmaj: 0/4 2/3 2/2 2/1
An explanation of the notation. The first number indicates which fret to press down. The number after the slash which string. 2/3 means, press down the second fret on the third string.
If you lift up your fingers from this chord you will get a very easy guitar chord to play indeed! We can call it an Em7. It will look this way:
Em7: 0/4 0/3 0/2 0/1
This little chord progression makes a nice little intro to a song in D-major. If we write down a little guitar chord sequense it might look like this:
Dmaj7 / / / Em7 / / / Dmaj7 / / / Em7 / / /
We will now spice the second chord a bit by playing a Gm6. It looks like this:
Gm6: 0/4 3/3 3/2 0/1
We can use this guitar chord in an intro with the same function as the one above:
Dmaj7 / / / Gm6 / / / Dmaj7 / / / Gm6 / / /
Let's introduce a new guitar chord. We can call this chord D11:
D11: 0/4 5/3 5/2 5/1
As you maybe already have figured out you can slide the Dmaj7 chord up a few frets and you will get this chord. We will now create a progression with these three guitar chords:
Dmaj7 / / / D11 / / / Gm6 / / / Gm6 / / /
The next guitar chord is easy to play too. It is a G-minor chord. It is actually the same chord shape as the guitar chord Dmaj7 but on the third fret. It looks like this:
Gm: 0/0 3/3 3/2 3/1
Now we will create a guitar chord progression with these four chords together:
Dmaj7 / / / D11 / / / Gm / / / Gm6 / / /
The art of sliding chords to new frets is an exciting and easy way to find new guitar chords and sounds to use in your playing.
We will end this article on easy guitar chords in D by experimenting a bit with the D-major chord. Here is the most common D-major chord:
D: 0/4 2/3 3/2 2/1
By sliding this guitar chord up three frets up you will get the Dm7 chord or D-minor seventh. It looks like this:
Dm7: 0/4 5/3 6/2 5/1
Slide it up two frets from this position and you will get a G-major chord. It looks like this:
G: 0/4 7/3 8/2 7/1
The last guitar chord to explore will be A-major with D bass, notated A/D. Here it is:
A/D: 0/4 9/3 10/2 9/1
Let's make an impressive intro with these four chords but with the same chord shape by sliding the D-major chord up:
D / / / Dm7 / / / G / / / A/D / / /
The guitar really is an amazing instrument. Many more chords can be changed in similar ways to create new interesting sounds that will enrich your playing!

Is it just me, or is today's "mainstream music" just awful?
You have these soulless teens listening to prostitutes like Nicki Minaj and Lady Gaga. There are also the "emotional" bands like those typical toyboys with pretty faces who sing about cliche bullsh1t like "oh I love you so much please don't leave me you're to me like a glove to a hand blabla", with the occasional *bum tss bum tss* beat in the background and 3 god damn guitar chords because they aren't intelligent enough to make up something more than monotonous, repetitive and simple C G F chords played 50 times for a song. The overly simple lyrics like "baby, baby, baby, oooh", "I throw my hands into the air sometimes, singing ayo gotta let go" and not to forget "I got a hangover, ooh, I been drinkin' too much fo sho". And those are called "deep" and "meaningful" artists? I'm serious, I'm your average guitar player, but if I take my guitar and start strumming randomly, I can create some "mysterious" and "meaningful" song in 15 minutes, judging by today's standards.
And have we forgotten about 8 year old girls, watching Miley Cyrus live on stage, basically pole dancing in sl*tty clothing, and who encourages that? THEIR OWN PARENTS!
I know there's good music out there, and trust me, no one appreciates a good piece of music like I do. And I guarantee you I'm not one of those typical hipsters who hate on everything new and or mainstream. No, if something is good, it's good, regardless of its social status, but when 90% of popular music is complete and utter bullcr@p, it boggles my mind how intelligent life still exists.
Maybe I'm taking it too far, but what do you think about this subject? Remember that I'm talking about MAINSTREAM stuff, not the kind of stuff which is like half/half known, but not that famous. Do you think it's bad, good, or are you neutral on the subject? Please don't hesitate to explain your point of view.
Wow, so I'm not the only one who really gets pissed off about this. Even though pop music 10 years ago was somewhat simple and cliche as well, if you were to put Britney Spears' - Hit Me Baby One More Time vs Nicki Minaj's - Stupid Hoe, I'm pretty sure I'd choose Britney Spears right away. At least she didn't need to cake her face in make up and sing songs while clapping her ass to appeal to her audience.
