Still thinking.......

You know, I've been wondering when the last time I even saw a whole note rest...

This explains everything!

By the bye, the D chord is coming out of retirement to be at Kathy Reichert's show here at the Berkshires this weekend. One night only...

Peace

Good job getting it back for us Chris! :mrgreen:

Now, to write a song only using the D chord... :twisted:

D maj is my favourite chord indeed. Very easy to form fast versions of D which adds great variety to the song.

This is just another case of the establishment forcing their will
on the people.

It's like that whole A=440hz thing.

What a joke the rock n roll hall of fame is-everyone knows the G chord should have been retired first :shock:

If the G chord went first, then the D chord would be fifth. :P

This is serious news, indeed. The suggestion may have been in jest, but that will not stop the suits at the RIAA being all over this like a rash. It'll be illegal to download any song, containing a D chord, even if you've paid for it - you'll need to pay an extra "D Chord Temporary Unretirement (single-use only)" licence fee.
Of course, Kirk Hammett will now be suing any- and everyone for using any D chord, which may have appeared (even as a guest chord) in a Metallica song.

I started with nothing - and I've still got most of it left.
