A very simple alternative to the D minor guitar chord is to simply use a standard D chord. It’s not ideal, but it’s a quick-fix that’s passable. Unlike other major/minor variants, you can actually use a D major in place of D minor without too much damage to the song. Give it a try.
Likewise, how do you play Dm on A guitar with A capo?
Stay in same key, but change the position of chords.
- When you place the capo on fret 2 and play a Dm open chord shape, the notes you are playing translate to Em. So we would say the Dm shape = Em.
- With the Capo on the 2nd Fret, the four chord shapes you now play are going to be: Shape Dm = Em. Shape F = G. Shape C = D.
Also question is, what are the notes of a Dm chord? The D minor triad, more commonly called the D minor chord, is a minor triad consisting of the notes D, F and A.
