Tuning with new strings
Hi. I finally decided to replace my strings (a bit nervous about it)...

Oops - I'm sorry - I should have chosen a forum to post this in!
Hello, All --
I'm not exactly sure how to ask my question, but here goes.
I learned to play in the key of D, DAA. I now have my dulcimer tuned to AEE. I use the chord shapes for DAA (for instance, a G), but, being in the key of A, the resulting chord is not a G but something else - and I don't know how to make that translation, how to determine what chord it is in A.
I have the opportunity to jam this weekend and am concerned that when prompted to play a certain chord, I'll have no idea what it corresponds to in D to be able to play it.
Does any of this make sense?
I'd appreciate any guidance at all!
Thanks,
Kathreen

Hi Kathreen, and welcome to the wonderful world of the Friends of the Mountain Dulcimer. It's a good place to come, spend some time, learn about the dulcimer, and to meet some good people.
