always wanted to go there man! anyway maybe you dont know this but, (this is kinda long, but i suggest you read this now before later. this is an excerpt off a book i own called "the principles of correct practice for guitar" id suggest you get this, its real nice and may solve ALOT of problems and had answers to all of my questions.)




click on em to make em larger

to sum it all up, practice slowly the right way, and you'll be able to get em right no matter how fast you do them.

i dont know if you know this or not, but when fret a string, put the finder right behind the fret to stop all the buzzing. putting the finger in the center will cause you to press down alot harder and still not guaranteed a good non-buzz sound. so put your finger right behind the fret ahead of you.
that also makes chords sound better.

anyway welcome to the world of guitars. you'll soon find out guitarists are nice people that just wanna make good music or their life sucks so they get by by playing music. so we're all nice people that wanna help. if you got a question that you cant find any answers to, this is the best place to come looking for answers. good luck and by the way, my fingers hurt like hell when i first got guitar. my advice is: START WITH HEAVY GAUGE STRINGS TO BUILD CALLUCES FASTER THEN GO INTO LIGHTER GAUGES IF YOU WANT. YOU'LL FIND THAT LIGHTER GAUGED STRINGS ALLOW YOU TO PLAY FASTER THAN HEAVY, BUT THEYRE NOT MUCH HELPFUL FOR A DEVELOPING GUITARIST.
and by the way, playing guitar helps your typing :D
