Play TONS of Songs With 3 Easy Guitar Chords In The Key of D

When switching from the G chord to the D chord, notice how your 3rd finger is placed in the same spot for both of them. This helps a lot with switching since you can leave your finger pressed down as you switch back and forth from D to G.

After practicing along and getting used to switching between these 3 beauties, you should try learning some easy guitar songs for beginners. To help you get started, here’s a small list of songs that use the D, G and A chords:

  • Mr Tambourine Man – Bob Dylan (also covered by The Byrds)
  • Free Fallin – Tom Petty (also covered by John Mayer)
  • Highway To Hell – AC/DC (they use “power chords” and use this chords more as a basis for riffing)
  • Get Back – The Beatles
  • Bad Moon Rising – Creedence Clearwater Revival
  • Thinking Out Loud – Ed Sheeran (he uses alternate bass notes, like D/F#)
