Rock in D minor (variant) — arpeggios
As with F on the catalogue's barre chord grid in C, picking this chord note by note immediately exposes uneven barre pressure that a strum can hide. Dm, Am and C, being open, don't have this problem.
Tips
Pick F slowly, string by string, listening for whether each one rings fully before moving to the next.
If a string on F sounds muted, adjust the barre finger's angle rather than the overall pressure.
Once F is clean in a slow arpeggio, the catalogue's strummed version of this same grid will get easier.
