How to play Daug on piano
- D is the white key in the middle of a group of two black keys. That is the root.
- Add F♯ (major 3rd above) and A♯ (augmented 5th above): press D, F♯ and A♯ together.
- Right hand: thumb (1) on D, middle finger (3) on F♯, little finger (5) on A♯. Left hand: little finger (5), middle finger (3), thumb (1).
- For a smoother change between chords, try an inversion (the same notes with a different one at the bottom), shown above.
Finger numbers: 1 thumb to 5 little finger. Fingering varies with hand size; these are common defaults.
