I don't know the right terms to use here, but there's a D chord "enhancement thing" that is used in a number of popular songs and is usually played by an acoustic guitar. That thing where you hold a D chord shape and add and remove the 4th and 2nd (pinky and middle) fingers. One way of writing it might be:
Dsus4 - D - Dsus2 - D
Here are some examples with time-specific video links:
"Patience" by Guns n Roses (at 1:37)
"American Pie" by Don McLean (at 1:33) (It sounds like this one starts with a D7 shape)
"Wizard" by Uriah Heep (at 0:16)
Is there a common name for this? (Also, is there a term for the type of thing it is? "Embellishment"?)
I know I've heard several more songs with this thing in them, but I can't think of them at the moment. Any more examples?
