  • I have fat fingers, easiest way I've found to play this chord clean is to bar the three strings. With practice, you don't deaden the high E string. Angle your finger down slightly toward the nut. Works for me.

  • Much help!

  • I think from A cord u strum from 3rd string down. From D cord 4th string down and for E 6th string down O.o

  • @amused2deathh how about you do a video series on guitar? you made that click for me!! I DID IT! thank you!

  • @amused2deathh You know, as crazy as it sounds.. the way you wrote it makes perfect sense.. it just clicked for me. Could you describe the easiest or proper way to play D and E chords?
