Just set the capo on a fret and play the same chords with the capo as '0'. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

First one is D Second is C G D => Csus2 Third is B G D => Gmaj D E F# G A B C will do, this is D major with a minor 7th (edit2: it was a mixolydian at all silly me) you can harmonize this using this scale... You pick notes from this scale, like over D you can use Fdim for example, use this notes and use your ear you'll do just fine I believe I did something to help you check that out: You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

So if you are in key of D mixolydian (G major scale) then you have D E F# G A B C and D notes. Lets say your melody was D note, well you should harmonize it with diatonic 3rd which would be 2 notes away from D (skip E you get F#) ! Cool trick you can do is INVERT INTERVAL and now you have F# in bottom D as your top note - and now you get harmony in diatonic 6ths !!! You can use 4ths and 5ths as they give that powerchord rock sound. Its entirely up to you really. Try it out and post some samples You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

In this particular case i would definately say that i am in the Key of D.. i usually use the D minor pentatonic to solo over it.. (this mostly because i dont know any other scale yet.. actually i know the major scale but haven't put it to use yet) But as you say the G-major scale contains all these notes, and you mention the D mixolydian, would the D mixolydian mode work especially well in this context??? more so than the minor pentatonic and D major scale?? thanks.. edit: and if i understand modes, i play the G-major scale, but begin the scale on the D note making it the D-mixolydian mode in the G-major scale?

The reason why D mixolydian works here rather than G major is that your key to the progression is D. So, when you play that scale over it, you are actually playing G major notes but, you need to think like you have to return to D all the time at the end of 4 bars, as this is where this progression will rest, so you play G major notes from D note to D note, that gives you D mixolydian. D minor pentatonic and D major scale wont work (at least in theory) over this progression, because D major has a major 7th which is C#, which is incompatible with your chords that contains C note. The reason why D minor pentatonic wont work over this chords is the presence of the minor 3rd in D minor pentatonic scale. (In your first chord you have a major3rd) but this is in theory. You'll see that D Blues scale will work over this progression from time to time, although it has a minor3rd, this is a speciality maybe oddity of the blues scales... Hope this helps you...
