Right now I need to practice more. The one thing that is very difficult is changing chords quickly. When I try to play a song it is very choppy because I have to pause in between each different chord to set my fingers in place. I know the only way I will get better is if I practice, but the quick changing is a challenge for me. I found this website on tips for changing chords. I am hoping it will help me.
Here are some tips I found on changing chords...
Go slowly and focus on your left
hand. If you go too fast and you miss your shot, you're wasting your
time. You’re not in a hurry so don’t jump the guns.
Try to identify the movement of each finger before playing for real.
If you get to see the "trajectory" of each of your fingers, you will manage much
better. Do not move a finger if you do not know where to go.
The goal is to save the movement. Avoid unnecessary movement and try
to take the shortest route.
To help us save the movement and to gain speed later, try not to lift the
fingers too high. Lift them just enough not so as not to touch the strings,
but not more!
With the goal of achieving a « perfect » movement, try to move all
fingers simultaneously. Moving three fingers at the same time is for sure
faster than moving one after another
There is also a lesson available on this website. I will watch it when I am at home with my guitar.
