Drop D chord changes — speed in D (metal) New
A faster version of the D grid (D5d, G5d, A5d), 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.
