Rock in D (Drop D) — fingerstyle New
The D5d, G5d, E5d progression played fingerstyle: the thumb covers the bass note of each chord while the index, middle and ring finger pick the treble strings in rhythm, no pick involved.
Tips
Keep the thumb perfectly steady on the bass notes before worrying about the fingers: it's what holds the whole pattern's tempo together.
