Need some help on guitar playing

[blueheaven]

Hi guys, I had started to learn to play the guitar only recently and I have a problem. I can't seem to change chords fast enough and without looking at the neck

I've only learnt to play the G major, C major and D major chords.

Any tips on how to switch chords? (I've been practising )

haha..bro!..

guess we share the same taste..

a guitar is also residing in my room

my room like hobbyist room ar..

got 2 hamster cage,1 4ft tank,1 small little niso tank for qt,a collection of bomberman..die cast models..comic collections..lol..ok enuff bout that...

yar..u try practicing on switching chords..by switching without strumming the guitar first..as u cant co-ordinate well with both hands moving...

then try strumming "down down down down down"

then after u have progress...strum "down down up down down (loop)"

after u have mastered it..go into more experts chords until your finger become "kaku"(crooked)

haha..rock on!

[blueheaven]

Thanks for the tip bro!!!

I used to have hamsters too but I gave them all away when they reproduced.

Anyway, my fingers are already becoming numb from all the pressing

[jem]

no prob..anyway..u playing the acoustic rite?

im still trying to master my acoustic..

then plan to get a bass and a electric by the end of this year

bass = groove

electric = style

This really brings me back to my guitar tadpole days

base on the G, C, D chords you have mentioned, I would suggest you try changing in this sequence: C - G - D

it's much easier to change from G to D for a beginner

but to really progress, may i suggest G - Em - C - D

with this 4 basic chords you can play to tonnes of songs (can impress girls some more...)

let me know if you need help on Em chord

have fun and keep the groove!

[blueheaven]

Thanks, I'll learn the Em chord after I master the three

I'm practising G-C-D cause I want to play "Leaving on a jet plane" by John Denver

don over practise..it will injured your finger..

Anyway..try to play single notes fast...and in time to come..not only one but all fingers will be able to move fast...take years... but a worth while hobby..

if i free i teach u...but u gave me some frag for my tank?

btw..me find that learning classical guitar (nylon) is cool.and soon u can advance to the playing single notes with chords works...and to SPANISH...my ultimate goal

[blueheaven]

I have sort of familiarised myself with the G, C, D and Em chords

And I can play "Tong Hua" by Guang Liang (without the Bm chord)

Guess, I am progressing quite well?
