Drop D chord changes — speed in A New
A faster version of the A grid (A5d, C5d, D5d), meant to work on the accuracy of the one-finger barre at a driving tempo rather than just getting it in place.
Tips
Slow down as soon as the barre becomes imprecise (buzz on one of the three strings): in Drop D, speed should never come at the cost of full contact across the three low strings.
