chord changing

It's difficult to change chords one from each other. Please advise me on the best way.

Hi Kelum,

Yes, it can be difficult to do chord changes especially if you need to do it fast. As always, my advice would be to practice your chord changes VERY SLOWLY.

You could do this back and forth, over and over. Only when you can do this accurately do you increase the speed. Soon you'll notice that it becomes easier and easier until you do it sub-consciously.

But you must give your brain time to absorb and master the fine motor skills you are asking it to perform.

Additionally, if you practice a mistake it will be harder to break that bad habit down the track.

So bottom line? Slow practice is the key.
