Question: Chord Transition on Guitar!.!.!.!?
Has anyone got some tips on how to make it easier, when the chords do not share any finger positions (eg G to C to D) I'm getting better with practice but if anyone's got some ways to make it quicker it'd help!.Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Sounds like you just started, in which case - like it or not - it's a matter of practice!. Gmaj, Cmaj and Dmaj are actually some of the easiest open chords to do!. Just persist on playing the chords for at least an hour a day and pretty soon you'll be jumping from chord to chord without even thinking about it or even looking at the fretboard!.

I also suggest you get a book like "3 Chords and the Truth" and you'll be shocked at how many songs in rock history are structured minimally and simply!. Keep at it and rock out!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Do you know how to do a hammer on!?

That is plucking a single string then hammering on your finger!. Example hit the open G String, then hammer your finger onto the 2nd fret!.

Well if you practice hammering on the whole chord, this will help improve you much faster!.

It's going to be really difficult at first!. But you just sit there and try and hammer on the C Major chord 30 times in a row!.

Because if you think about it!.!.!.switching chords is being able to make the chord formation before you fingers hit the strings (make the chord form in the air)!. Hammering on works on that specifically!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Pick out some notes that lead into the next chord!. You will notice that all professional guitarists are pickers!.!.!.they just don't strum chords, they pick out notes from the chords, in the chords, around the cords, etc!. You need to pick!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
