Chords Overview: D Major: For this chord, place your fingers on the second fret of the G string, the third fret of the B string, and the second fret of the high E string, avoiding the low E and A strings. G Major: Position your fingers to press the third fret on the low E and high E strings, the second fret on the A string, and strum all six strings. A Major: Press down the D, G, and B strings at the second fret, starting your strum from the A string.
