PLAYING TIPS:
Play the D5 with the index finger on the 1st string,
ring and little finger on 3rd and 2nd respectively.
For the D6 move the little finger to the 1st string,
leaving the other fingers where they are, then the
little finger back to the 2nd string again for the D5
The A7 play as a barre, adding the ring finger on
the 1st string, and lifting off for the A6.
For the higher voiced A7 * use the little finger
on the 1st string.
In the linking sections slide up to the D6 from the D
IGNORE THE CHORD BOX DIAGRAMS that the website
displays, they are generated automatically from a
generic database and often don't show the best
options for a particular chord progression. Just use
