Well, I know I won't get best answer for this but!.!.!.

Practice does NOT make perfect!. My grandmother has been driving for 40+ years, but that doesn't make her good at it!.

Practice Makes PERMANENT!.

You will only reinforce bad playing by practicing with bad habits!. I'm not sure why everyone is so against lessons, they are the best thing I ever did for my playing!. Professional guitarists take lessons! So everyone gets on a forum like this asking for help because what they're doing doesn't work, but still, they won't take lessons!? It boggles my mind!.

Honestly, and I say this with all sincerity, if you were practicing correctly, gaining speed really wouldn't be an issue!. It is better to play well slowly, than poorly fast!.

Even a community college course will give you interaction with an instructor!.

Good luck to you!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Practice with a metronome!.

Start out with the metronome at a slow enough tempo that you can play the chords with good timing!. Practice it at that speed till you can do it perfectly, then bump up the metronome speed a few clicks and practice it some more until you have the timing down perfect at that speed!. bump it up again a few more clicks, practice until you have the timing perfect at that tempo!.!.!.!.etc etc until you have it fully up to tempo!. Then you can play along with the recording and be perfect!Www@QuestionHome@Com

also practice makes perfect, you can't get it at first and I remember when I was like you!.
