the trick is…think about what fingers are on what strings, and where they have to move before grabbing the next chord.

Your fingers do not always have to leave the fretboard to grab the next chord.

As an easy example…say you want to change chords from an Am to a C.

Your first finger is on the second string first fret, and your second finger is on the 4th string second fret, and your ring finger is on the 3rd string second fret. X-0-2-2-1-0

To change an Am to a C…your first and 2nd fingers should stay on the fret board….ONLY your ring finger should move to grab the C note at the 5th string 3rd fret. X-3-2-0-1-0.

Many beginners make changing chords far more difficult by removing their hand completely from the fret board when changing chords. Often you may have the correct finger on the correct string, and perhaps it only involves sliding that finger up or down a fret..etc.

Think about where your fingers have to move to change to the next chord. You may already have a finger that doesn’t have to move, and you can use this as a guide to help your other fingers (that do have to move) to find their places.

Also…learn bar, or pro chords. These are chords that involve holding down all 6 strings with your index(1st) finger and using your remaining fingers to form the chords.

these “bar” chords can be taken all up and down the fret board.

Best of luck and practice till those fingers bleed! Haha

some learn faster than others
