Guitar Chords for D

The guitar has become an iconic instrument since the
beginning of the 20th century. It is often associated
with the blues, rock and pop styles of music. Who can
forget those images of Jimi Hendrix making his electric
guitar wail and other guitar greats such as Jimmy Page
(Led Zeppelin), Brian May (Queen) and Eric Clapton?
The list is a long one! Nevertheless, this instrument can
likewise be found in many other types of music: classical,
flamenco, Brazilian, country, metal, jazz, African,
folk . . . . it is almost impossible to list them all, such is
the worldwide popularity of the guitar.
Often regarded as a solo instrument, in the majority of
cases, the guitar is used as an accompaniment, given
its harmonic possibilities (since it allows you to play
chords, unlike a saxophone or trumpet, for example,
which can only play one note at a time). It is precisely
this characteristic which we address in this book.
Foolish Assumptions
For a guitarist, learning to play chords is essential in
order to be able to play the instrument, at any level. In
creating this book, I assume that:
✓ You’re a beginner, you have some scores or chord
progressions of your favourite pieces, but you don’t
understand the chord symbols or don’t know where
to play them on your guitar.
