Itās hard for me to tell when to substitute these chords. I appreciate that the chord changes are much easier almost all the time, especially as tempo increases. I have tiny hands and always play Cadd9 instead of C. Iām working on Good Riddance and canāt determine if this version of D sounds better than the first chord we learned, which I still struggle to play without muting!
Regarding transitioning from open D minor to G chord (any variation), Justin recommends using the 4th finger on the 3rd fret of the second string for the D minor chord. I find this makes it difficult to transition to the G chord. Any tips in terms of what G chord variation would be the best to maximize success in this transition? Any other tips in mastering this transition? Thanks!
Iām really struggling with the full G with 3rd and 4th fingers because the strings where those fingers are on keep getting muted. I seem to fare a bit better when playing the regular G and CAdd9 without the 4th finger.
The guitareoke wonderwall in the app is indicating people should be using the classic chords, and not the stuck 34 versions of the chords.
On one hand Justin is giving us licence to use the stuck versions and the 34 versions interchangeably as long as they sound good. On the other hand having the chords showing in guitareoke should be the ones he is intending us to use at this point in our learning journey.
Justin says that many people call them the wonderwall chords.
100% use the stuck versions to make the song easier.
This one was very nice, thank you!

@Procurer4551 Hi David, welcome to the community. I can understand your eagerness to learn the F chord since it is used a lot. If you try the F chord and it is a struggle, then you should return to this lesson and give these chords a try. Justin put these chords in here to help strengthen your hand and prepare you for success with the F chord. You should at least try to learn the G and C chord since those are used in a lot of modern songs. Also the E, A and D versions are used in the āWish You Were Hereā intro in this module.

Stuck on this lesson for nearly five months after breezing through the first module - too many chords and the lesson is a bit too long.
Restrung my guitar yesterday (it sounds so crispy and bright now !) and giving it another goā¦ heartened to see that my experience isnāt unique.
