Drop D chord changes — speed in D (call and response) New
A faster version of the D grid (D5d, F5d, G5d, A5d) built as two call-and-response phrases: four chords to string together on the barre at a driving tempo, rather than a simple two-chord back-and-forth.
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.
