D minor hints/tips

I think there may be some wording issues in this segment. Use the 4th finger on the thinnest string? Shouldnā€™t it read " The index finger should be on the thinnest string"?

6. THE D MINOR CHORD

The Dm can be a bit tricky for many of you, but practice will help you out. :slight_smile: Take a look at the D Minor diagram:

  1. I recommend you use the 4th finger to play the thinnest string! Itā€™s ok to use the 3rd things, but you should make your pinky stronger, and thatā€™s an excellent opportunity to do so. It also brings chord change benefits. :slight_smile:
  2. Donā€™t play the thickest two strings at all. It just sounds wrong!

Hi Jonathan,
I think the ā€˜thinnest stringā€™ should be changed to the next thinnest or 2nd or B string, ā€¦ Iā€™ll call in the auxiliary troops, often @Richard_close2u called for this ,he has the power to change it :smile:
