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.

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

[@daniellepelham1110]

you are an angel thanks! I'm transitioning from C-D-G this makes that WAY easier, I can even leave my pointer finger in the same place going from D-G :)

[@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

[@joannefournier7980]

Thank you for information in how to do this D chord easier

[@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!

[@gooseotter1594]

Amazing. Thank you for that!

[@flamingoxcloudy9236]

Omggg now I can go from D-A soooo easily

[@TheFaithsmomma]

Thank you so much! I have been struggling with this for so long

[@barryward208]

Genius. That is a lot easier. 👍🏻

[@kirbyfunpack9362]

Vielen Dank

[@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.

[@shanec508]

Wow! Thanks a lot, just thought I had fat fingers or something, this is waaaaay easier! Have a great day!!

[@conormurphy9176]

Ty so much

[@brittneerandolph2415]

[@Richard-lj2lx]

[@acterene1]

[@aycagursu5224]

[@xxjadexx1576]

I can relate

[@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.

[@ROBUR_FB]

very nice! thank you.

[@debjoydhole2767]

Woooowwwwwww

[@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

[@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.

[@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!

[@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.

[@radiantrunaway8545]

I can't see all the fingers

[@michelledaley55]

have you got an easier E or Em.

[@playukulelenow]

Yes see my other videos - you'll find both

[@debojyotimaiti1778]

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

[@negativentry]

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

[@sebastiansandfeld9671]

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

[@emilywym9151]

Switching from D to G has never been easier

[@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

[@jaeminkim1667]

its still litte hard

[@playukulelenow]

Keep practicing, it'll get easy

[@fourrelic9179]

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

[@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

[@otam0t]

me using my thumb 👁👄👁

[@claraagu1811]

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

[@playukulelenow]

Keep it up - practice makes perfect
