Key of D –3 Chords
Glenn Weiser

                   D                                     G                                      A7

1. Warm-up exercise, downstrums only: 4/4 / D / G / A7 / D / D / A7 / G / D //
(you can also play A7 with your index finger on the fourth string and the middle finger on the second string)

2. Speed Changing: D ® G, G ® A7, A7 ® D. First downstrums, then down –up strums.

3. Chord building exercise- Try changing from the D chord to partial G chords as a preparation for the change from D to the full G. Begin with switching from D to a G chord with only the first string fretted, Then try switching from D to a G chord with only the sixth and fifth strings fretted. Finally try switching from D to the full G chord
