How to Play Acoustic Guitar : How to Play a D Chord on the Acoustic Guitar

[heyheyboi22]

I'm having trouble not strumming the G and E string idk any tips on how to avoid these strings its quite frustrating



[BrandNewToYou]

@heyheyboi22 hey buddy just stumbling around the tube and saw your comment. You mentioned troubles hitting certain strings. Check out my channel, there may be a tip or two in there for you. But hey if you're pressed for time.... consider using your THUMB to slightly rest on the E string (this will mute it if it's slightly touching) =)

[krasotka2997]

thank you so much i finally did it yeah!

[XScreamoXXcountrYX]

@drumXskate that's because theres always more than one way to play a chord dip shit -.-"

[drumXskate]

the other idiot from expertidiots said something completely different o.O

[Ltigerlily]

my god are you the brother of Paul McCartney?

Wooow you look exactly the same!

[minimikki]

oh geez, how do you NOT strum all the strings!?

[faltrax]

@minimikki

put ur thumb on the E low string to mute it. Strum then.

[MrYoseef]

[krasotka2997]

[codyjosephcopeland]

My god...fingers are confusing

[bih4lyf]

I cant seem to remember the chords :(

[wittnblak]

Me, neither. I tried and all I remember is the E minor. But Tom, you are a great teacher! The videos helped alot!

[wittnblak]

How come whenever I try to reply to a certain coment, it always shows up at the top? Coz then the comments I make to someone else's comments don't make sense.

[Tedo27]

dude thanks alot!!!

[YahwehForLife]

Great teacher thank you very much for your help in all yiur videos. Take care Tom Ü

[sweetsoad]

[Terence254]

[cutiecupcakes22]

is that a d minor??? type that on ur title dont just put chord!

[deviltai]

name ur fingers 1,2,3,4 like wat they all do.

[gundum700]

it does not confuse me caause what if the people dont know the names

just sayin

[majkizbajki99]

you should really learn the names of the fingers mate, "place this finger there and that finger there" only confuses ppl
