To play the D major chord we press down the 1st, 2nd and 3rd string with our finger 2, 3 and 1 respectively as shown in figure for D chord formation. In the diagram you can see (e) String is the 1st or the thinnest string and (E) string is the thickest or the 6th string. You also see (X) on the 6th string which means that you do not strike the 6th string while strumming for the D major chord.
Practice playing the chord by strumming downward using your thumb or pick. Press hard enough to avoid the buzzing sound and press the string just before the fret starts as shown in the figure and make sure the fingers do not touch other string as it will not sound the way D chord should sound like.
