Drops of Jupiter Chords<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Chord Progression<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The song follows a standard chord progression\u2014D, Em, G, A7\u2014<\/strong>meaning all four chords are used. The D chord is the first one we have to learn. You can start by placing your fingers on strings 2 and 3 at the second fret. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, use your index finger to press down on string 1 at the second fret and your middle finger on string 4 at the third fret. Strum all these strings together for a D chord.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next chord we need to tackle is an Em chord<\/strong>. To do this one, keep your pointer finger and ring finger where they are but move your middle finger up to string 5 at the second fret. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your index finger should stay on string 1 at the second fret while your pinky goes down onto string 6 at the third fret. Play all these strings together for an Em chord.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next up is a G chord<\/strong>. Put your pointer finger back down onto string 3 at the third fret and then add in your middle finger onto string 4 at the fourth fret while keeping everything else in a place with the other two fingers (index on 2nd fret of string 1; pinky on 3rd fret of string 6). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now strum all six strings for a G chord<\/strong>! Then comes an A7 <\/strong>which involves moving everything up one more space\u2014so the pointer moves from 3rd to 4th<\/strong>; middle from 4th to 5th; index from 2nd to 3rd;<\/strong> and finally, pinky from third to fourth frets respectively on each respective strings 1-4 & 6<\/strong> (no changes for 5th string). After you strum all six strings together, you have an A7!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now if you have gone through this progression playing each chord twice, it would look like this: D-D-Em-Em-G-G-A7-A7<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
