This guitar lesson looks at your first guitar chord. We will be learning a D major, an easy guitar chord to visualise and the first chord I like to teach beginner guitar players. It uses 3 fingers and throws up a few problems that are common to almost all the other chords. Usually the 3rd finger will mute (stop from vibrating) the string underneath it. This is going to develop into a little bit of a frustration as it does for many people, but I will show you a way to develop and adjust to give you the best chance of a clean sounding chord. That is the aim!
