Chords

Post by fishfingers »

Ive just been watching a video on you tube but ive also heard this before and im really struggling. A guitarist will pick up his guitar and put one finger on one string in a fret and call it a D. I only know the chord D or a barre chord. How or where can i learn this?
If you always put limit on everything you do, physical or anything else, it will spread into your work and into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them...

If you put your finger on the second fret on the G string and play just the D string and the G string it could be classed as a D5 or D powerchord.

Is this what you mean? If not please clarify and I will try and help!

Are you certain he's not identifying a note, instead of a chord?
