When pick/strumming the chords, you start on the lower root note.
e.g. on the A Chord, pluck on the A string, then the E string.
Should sound something like this:
A A D
e|---0---0------------0---0-----------2---2---2---2---|
B|---2---2------------2---2-----------3---3---3---3---|
G|---2---2------------2---2-----------2---2---2---2---|
D|---2---2------------2---2---------0-------0-------0-|
A|-0--------0-------0-------0-0-2-4-----0-------0-----|
E|-----0------0-2-4-----0-----------------------------|
To get from the D Chord back to the A Chord:
D A
e|---2---2------------0----0---|
B|---3---3------------2----2---|
G|---2---2------------2----2---|
D|-0-------0--0-------2----2---|
A|-----0--------4-2-0--------0-|
E|-----------------------0-----|
Hope this makes sense.
Of course you can just strum the chords if you choose to.
