Fingering Technique:

Correct finger positioning is crucial for the Dm chord to ensure that all strings are clear and distinct. Here’s how to position your fingers:

  1. First Finger (Index): Place it on the first fret of the high E string, fretting the F note, which is the Minor 3rd of the chord.
  2. Second Finger (Middle): Position it on the second fret of the G string, fretting the A note, the Perfect 5th.
  3. Third Finger (Ring): Place it on the third fret of the B string, fretting the D note, which reinforces the Root.

Strumming:

When playing the Dm chord, strum from the D string downwards, avoiding the low E and A strings.

Tip: You need to really make sure to have all of your fingers on their tip toes – it is common to accidentally mute the high E string with your ring finger. Tip toes! Say it all together; Tip Toes!
