Thread Name: I can play a D chord!
Subject: RE: I can play a D chord!
My stiff arthritic left-hand fingers have me now reverting to the way I first learned to do a D chord: using two fingers (one doing a mini-barre on the G, B, and high E strings, and another finger on the 3rd fret of the B string). I can do the full chord with the pinky on the D string too. There are some disadvantages to using the 2-finger version, but it does facilitate some other techniques that I couldn't do from the 3-finger position.
But Will, please tell us: Can you play The F Chord?
