It definitely in the way I use my right arm/wrist/fingers that gives my D major and to some extent my A major chords that overly bright High E.. I trying to present less pick and use my arm from the elbow to strum down the strings. Some times it hard to tell when I am strumming the D major whether it my ring finger to close to the 2 fret / high E string or my picking. I am new to this sight (even though I have had the membership since the summer) so I am going to explore and try out every way to get my right hand and my left hand to make beautiful music
