To play a D chord by dropping it down, you typically move it down to the 5th fret, where it becomes a C chord. Alternatively, if you're looking to play a D chord as a barre chord, you can play it at the 10th fret. This adjustment allows you to maintain the chord shape while changing the pitch.

How do you Play B chord on a guitar?

It can't be played as an open chord, though B7 is close and can often be used instead. Try using the A barre cord form at the 2nd fret(root 5 chord shape, B root note) or the E shape barre at the 5th fret (root 6 chord shape, B root note). Hopefully that helps. Badd11 is a quite simple and very beautiful chord when playing the key of E or C#m: Index finger on 7th fret low E string Ring finger on 9th fret A string Little finger on 9th fret D string Middle finger on 8th fret G string Strum all strings Try also Bsus4: Power chord from 2nd fret A string, but strum the B and E strings too.


What are some chords for bass guitar?

Ten chords sound great on the bass:C major chord- 8th fret on the E string and 9th fret on the G string.(add the 9th fret on the D string to make it a Cmaj7 chord) or(add the 8th fret on the D string to make it a C7chord)C minor chord- 8th fret on the E string and 8th fret on the G string.(add the 8th fret on the D string to make it a Cm7chord)Also playing in fifths sound good as well:E5 chord- 7th fret on the A string and 9th fret on the D string.Remember, you can move these chords anywhere on the instrument.The trick to playing chords on the bass is to keep the notes further apart. Lower notes played closer together become muddy sounding.


How do you tune to drop D?

Drop D tuning means that the Low E string is tuned down to a D note. There are a few methods of quickly tuning down. 1. Play the open D-String (4th string) and tune down the E-String (6th string) to match in pitch. Tuning by ear isn't always 100% accurate - but if you have a good ear this is a quick way to achieve "Drop-D" tuning. 2. Use an electronic tuner. Tune your Low E string down one whole step to D. 3. Cheat. Use a "Drop D Capo". While you aren't really "tuning' your guitar - you can simply slip on a capo and have the dropped tuning sound. Most guitar stores will sell Drop D Capo's. 4. Use a Drop D tuner. You will have to replace the tuning mechanism on your guitars headstock with a specialized drop d tuner. With the flick of a lever you can change between the E and D notes. 5. most guitarists i know tend to know what is the pitch of most notes are but that is not the best way to tune a guitar. when you have your guitar in tune by using a tuner or the way i like to do it is i play along to a record that has a power chord with the route note on the low e string in standard tuning and listen very carefully and think is that the exact sound. remembering your just listening for that route note. if it isn't you will need to hand tune it and play it again until you find that perfect sound. after you have done that, u can play the 5th fret on the low e string and play the a string straight after. you then tune the a string to sound like the 5th fret of the low e string. u carry on doing that apart from the 2nd b string which u play the 4th fret of the g instead of the 5th. after all that your guitar is now in tune. now you want to tune it to drop d. you do it by putting your finger on the 7th fret on the low e string and playing it. then you play the a string straight after. then you will tune the low e string to sound like the a string. The standard tuning on a guitar is EADGBE from the fat string to the thin string. In order to tune to drop d, lower the first string (the fattest one) so that it is a whole step down. Then your guitar will be tuned DADGBE. Note that the 1st and 3rd strings are now the same pitch (just an octave apart) so you can use that third string to check your intonation. Drop D Tuning is where you tune the 6th string (The large E string) Down to a D note, so that it is one octave lower than the 4th string. This is used to create a heavier sound effect. Once in Drop D tuning, you can fret the 4,5,6 strings all on the same fret to produce the chords instead of doing the standard "power" chords. If you're talking guitar, I think you're saying how do you tune to D? You lower your 6 string to D. In other words take your low E down to D. It works well while playing certain chords, doubling the note "D". Especially the D chord giving a full sounding D chord with a D bass note. Basically, make your low top string sound like your 3rd string. You should be tuning the low top string down to make it the same note as your 3rd string. Simply put. haha.
