This video is for the D minor chord. The D minor chord is very, very common. It’s an open chord.  And we need to say that word minor with all minor chords we do. And so let’s listen to how it sounds. All right here’s the D major chord in comparison, and here’s the D minor. You can really tell on this one the difference between the major and the minor.

Let’s look at the fingering. There’s a couple different ways you can do it, but they all start with the pointer finger on the first string first fret. Pretty much everyone also plays the second finger on the third string second fret. The last note that you need you can use either your pinky or the third finger, it doesn’t really matter, I’ll do the third finger here. So this is third finger on the second string third fret. If it feels too stretched out for you try the pinky instead. So that’s pinky on the second string third fret. It’s an open chord so you have an open fourth string. And there’s X’s on the sixth string and the fifth string. So we’re only dealing with the bottom four strings same as in the D major. But here’s the D minor.
