What is D chord guitar?
The D chord uses the D, G, B, and E strings (4th, 3rd, 2nd, and 1st strings). That means that you don’t want to play the two thickest strings (the A and low E string) for the D chord. If you’re ever unsure, check back on the chord diagram. It’s totally fine to “go wild” and strum away on the D chord.
What key is what I got in?
What I Got is written in the key of G. Open Key notation: 2d.
