Im new to guitar and and can't figure ot what would sound good next after D>A>EM > ???? when strumming befour going back to D. I could strum em again but I looking for something else to fit better. G and F and E dont really fit. This is probley a weird question but any suggestions would help me thanks???

D A Em A sounds pretty good. simple, but good.

Actually, G should fit really really really well. But you say that it doesn't so I'm not sure what type of progression you're looking for. Another fairly standard chord that would at least be coherent with the others is Bm. One that isn't quite as normal and will sound way better than Bm (in my opinion) is F#, but if you're writing a song, you'd have to have the right melody to make that work. But if you use the F#, you can take that a million places: G# (which would take you to A or Bm probably), Bm, D, G...

looks like your in the key of D so you can play D-> Bm -> A-> G-> Em -> A - >D. that's a nice chord progression.

actually that would make it less than simple, if you put C, it would no longer be diatonic to any key... but thats not always a bad thing

I have never taken a music class cracker!

ahh...must have read the question wrong...I thought he was asking for something to play after D, A, Em...not some a theory laden response from a mofo who is barely ever around

It sounds ok, if you use certain voicings.. and you'll find that they are all ones which avoid only moving B->C on the transitions from {E G B} transforming to {C E G}. That's kinda subjective.. but Open Em to Open C is terrible because only the octave Bs get moved up to the octave Cs.. on the other hand, Open Em -> A-Form C is not bothersome.
