Chord Transitions
G to D
How to transition from a G chord to a D chord.
The G → D transition is the same I → IV move in the key of G or any key where you're playing an open G shape.
Chord shapes
By playing the G chord in a full G shape, the transition to D becomes a lot easier. Your fingers need to move from top to bottom of the fretboard, while maintaining your third finger on the B string.
