[@rosiearnold1047]

Ahhhh now I just have to remember all the songs I’ve assumed were impossible because they had the D chord 😂😂 thanks so much!!

[@dancingdev1088]

[@skoot2u]

I was beginning to think that my fingers were too big for a Soprano uke.You have given me encouragement,many thanks !

[@dianamaiadance]

[@RohanPurty]

underrated tutorials

[@mariemccausland1939]

Omg this just made my life so much easier playing this chord progression thank you!

[@cgandy2]

Great lesson! This is the fingering shape to use on the guitar for A major chord which makes it easy to switch to D major and E major. This is SO much easier to change chords in the key of D, thank you!

[@lauriepond8241]

Thank You Andrew!!!! I have been working on this frustrating D cord for a couple days...grrr. Your style has made all the difference

[@alexharper7699]

I'm a large guy learning a small soprano and was struggling with the D big time. In 3 mins you changed that. Cheers.

[@blessildamaedayo712]

So grateful! Keep making videos

[@miken3883]

Thank you! This helped me so much!

[@daniellepelham1110]

[@richdavis4007]

I've recently committed to learning key of D songs and it took about a day and a half after I settled on how to play the D chord. I found the only smooth way I could do it was the way you showed.

[@alliceson6464]

Love this it was very helpful! Thank you

[@ajayarjunk]

thank you so much

[@scarlettshaw6950]

Thank you!!!

[@JeffHamiltonjdjtc]

Sheesh. I’m a real beginner and have fat fingers. I have tried the old D ways and have purposefully stayed away from any song with a D chord. I could never get a nice sound from each string. Of course I’m a beginner and not very good. First strum with the “new and easy” D chord and it sounded terrific. This is definitely a fat finger friendly chord. Thanks!

[@GabrielBadwolf]

thanks so much. I can actually play D now :D

[@martinmatha2714]

for D, sometimes I use thumb finger, over top side :)

[@saurabhkacholiya]

Thanks man

[@ShannonAlexander]

So helpful! Thanks!

[@Richard-lj2lx]

That's amazing! Thank you!

[@dsd-downshiftdave8056]

Do you have a tutorial on Malaguena? If not can you do one please from beginning to end🙏🙏

[@jimbrownza]

I suppose I have to move away from C, F and G chords sometime! I'm just getting a tin whistle, and the only ones the supplier has are in D. Plan is to record the rhythm on the uke and then play over with the whistle, so key of D here we come. But at least with this tutorial I can "sort of" play a D chord already.

[@kirbyfunpack9362]

Vielen Dank

[@lukartoffel]

i love you man

[@conormurphy9176]

Ty so much

[@tusharmudgal8321]

Thankyou so much for this❤️ i used to skip songs which have D chord due to its difficulty 😂 now i can learn and play those❤️

[@flamingoxcloudy9236]

Omggg now I can go from D-A soooo easily

[@FredericoOrion]

Thank you, when I play it this way it sounds better , but do you think this it will be good in the long run ?

[@playukulelenow]

Yes, absolutely, it is the most efficient way to play the chord (s). When things are done in the the most efficient way - left hand, or right hand - they will sound better.

[@Edenboarder]

very nice! thank you.

[@buster742]

Oh, thank you so much! I was beginning to despair.

[@michelledaley55]

fancy not working that out by myself. I don't have a problem but some students will be relieved.

[@JimsRobot]

G.e.n.i.u.s!

[@aycagursu5224]

I still can't do it 😂😂😂 My fingers are about to break lol

[@xxjadexx1576]

I can relate

[@toolazytothinkofaname6680]

I’ve been playing for years and I could very easily play D chords properly but I still just bar it with my thumb cuz I’m too lazy to get in that habit

[@michelledaley55]

have you got an easier E or Em.

[@playukulelenow]

Yes see my other videos - you'll find both

[@acterene1]

That's how I do it!

[@debjoydhole2767]

Woooowwwwwww

[@mewingmanda]

ugh the e string always makes a horrible buzz whenever I do the d and g chord

[@playukulelenow]

Make sure you're using the tips of your fingers to make the chord, and be sure your fingers are not touching any adjacent strings.

[@sebastiansandfeld9671]

Am i dead cause i think i encountered God himself as a uke teacher

[@UNES._.00]

MY FINGER IS A WIDE AS HE WHOLE TREAT. Idk the English spelling sorry if I’m wrong

Thanks Man! It is very helpful for me!

[@radiantrunaway8545]

I can't see all the fingers

[@Dev_thesavior]

this actually came naturally to me just here to check if this actually existed

[@emilywym9151]

Switching from D to G has never been easier

[@negativentry]

no chance... the very top of my finger spans from fret to fret

[@kristinat8561]

hi everyone ,if anyone else wants to uncover how to learn the ukulele try Trefendous Amazing Uke Tips (do a search on google ) ? Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my work buddy got cool results with it.

[@blessildamaedayo712]

Trefendous Amazing Uke tips

[@voxentino]

me using my thumb 👁👄👁

[@meunderfutbal]

0:43 *my innocent self reading it as it is and not thinking about anything else*

[@jaysonbogo8418]

But the real challenge is from D to Em. Only a devil will make a song when Em is after D 🤬

[@playukulelenow]

See my easy Em video

[@jaeminkim1667]

its still litte hard

[@playukulelenow]

Keep practicing, it'll get easy

[@fourrelic9179]

Easiest way: just put your thumb on where it should be.

[@claraagu1811]

This sux isn't any easier to play that way either..I QUIT

[@playukulelenow]

Keep it up - practice makes perfect

[@umarutsc]
