Hi all,
I've been playing for about three months (complete newbie). I'm learning the chords well with the lessons, but I am struggling with changing chords. I just can't seem to make them quick enough. I'm working on Bad Moon Rising (made easy) intro. I'm okay with the chords, D, A, and G. But, I cannot make the transitions quick enough. I get repetitions is the way and I have been practice every day. I was wondering if there are any other practice methods I could try to help me get through this.
Love the program, but I'm getting a little frustrated that I can't put things together and start playing songs.
Thanks in advance,
Greg
First & foremost, be patient with yourself!
Do targeted practice on the chord changes. Don't strum in time, don't follow the song. Play each chord once & drill the motions of moving from each chord to the next.
Play D chord once. Stop.
Play A chord once. Stop.
Play G chord once. Stop.
Repeat.
Make this part of your practice session. Until you get those motions completely automated you will always struggle with playing them in time.
Gradually add strumming them in time at a slower tempo.
Keep practicing. Best of success!
