Ah, that's a bit different. I thought he was just saying it was another way to play a D major chord...
I understand there's no reason to bog a beginner down in too much, but I also refuse to treat my beginner students like idiots. Had this chord come up in a lesson with me, I would have given the chord name, tell the student memorizing the whole fancy name isn't as important as understanding that in this case, it's replacing a regular D major chord, and it's giving us a couple of extra notes which make it sound more "colorful."
If that's confusing, the student should probably stick to Guitar Hero.
