That D progression is also used in Tom Petty "Free Falling" Which is such an easy song to play. It goes D Dsus4 Dsus4 D Dsus2. And just repeats for the whole song. But I think he plays it with a capo on the 5th. It's one of those songs that people around you will just start singing. D Dsus4 Dsus4 D Dsus2
A little confused...studied the diagram you sent in an email asking to click on vid....but the diagram for the Dsus4 doesn't seem to be the same as the one you are explaining in the vid...diagram only shows 3 fingers not D plus the little pinky!
Play a D chord and put your pinky on. You can lift your middle finger (and you'll get the diagran shape) or not, it doesn't matter. Middle finger and pinky are on the same string. Only reason to not lift your middle finger is that the prgression back to D is easier. And diagrams of course never show fingers on the same string, because usually you don't do that of course.
Super, Mike. Thanks a lot. Jerry, that is the way I play the 'A' chord. My first chord book used pictures of a young girl with long fingers. As a newbie, I knew I couldn't make that shape, so I just separated my fingers like you do. So much easier to transition to or from 'D'. BTW, beautiful 'strum around', as Mike called it.
Great as usual, your video's are always a great learning tool. Thank you

Very nice video and suggestions. These very variations on D and A are used in the Pearl Jam song Betterman.

tell you what you can do which is prety awesome for a pivotal chord change is to use D maj, Dmaj7, to D dominant 7, try it and give it a listen.
