A in the 3rd fret D in the 2 fret


So I looked it up on GuitarChord*org and It shows the chord as:



D5/A as D and G in the 7th fret


Then I went to GuitarTricks toolset and I looked up the chord and it shows it as this:



G B in the 5th and 7th fret and bunch of variations that are all over ...


 


None of these are the same.....


How am I supposed to know how to play a chord that I cannot find a diagram for??


Well I guess I cannot post images...


 

boy....you guys are all great, compared to me....i just clocked the worst all time score on the neck notes game....should change my name to pure flunky...these notes....and trying to read music and scales....looks like Mandarin Chinese to me. I'll just keep on a learning. ( Do you think they have a special course on this site for 68 yr, old dumb old farts? šŸ¤£
