@D3ltaH3adSh0tz1997 You can say that again! Rob really helped tho -- chord books suck in my opinion -- I never do a D chord the way they say -- I 've always used the pinky & it's a lot easier & simpler to get to D7 for example. That stupid Bmaj was in Jingle Bell Rock I was fooling with -- oh well, back to 3 chord "cowboy" songs ;-)

that's some great advice. I can do the chord but not at speed. it's one difficult chord.

Rob, you totally helped me in 21/2 minutes with something I've wasted a couple of hours trying to master from the chord diagrams! I was kind of heading in the direction of using middle, ring & pinky fingers at the 4th fret positio as there was simply no way for me to capture all 3 strings with the pad of my 3rd finger -- I have fairly small/short fingers for a guy & one would have to almost bend the 1st joint backward & have about 1/8-inch of callous on the fleshy part - impossible! Thank you!

@bobbytookalook I'm glad to hear it. A lot of folks get upset with me, because they still have problems with it, but it is hard. I'm glad it worked for you.

Or you could try an alternate version which is much easier. Just barre the 7th fret with finger 1. Finger 2 goes on the G string on the 8th fret.. Finger 3 goes the A string on the 9th fret and finger 4 goes on the D string on the 9th fret. Or you can switch 2, 3 and 4 around to whatever comfortably suits you. As I said, this is much easier, but if you are going to be playing this right after, say, a G or E, it can be tricky, so you gotta be fast.

@sirwilliam0524 This isn't hard Sir WIlliam. There is no need to limit oneself. I have 9 year old children that can play it after a couple of months. People have trouble with it, because they don't apply themselves correctly. It is an often used inversion for the complete guitarist, and I hope to give everyone that will listen an upper hand in obtaining the basics for free.
