This is a great idea. I've never practiced chord changes without pressing and strumming to get the practice in. Great to learn the mechanics without finger pain. Thank you for that advice.

I’ve been playing guitar and studying music religiously for three years now and I’m watching through this series to relax and reflect (also it feels nice to max out the modules on your website!). Watching this honestly really makes me happy about my progress, because over the years I think I’ve taken all of the things I’ve gotten good at for granted. I’ve almost forgotten how hard it was to get chords right for the first time, but nowadays everything I do seems so self-evident! It’s an awesome feeling

Love Justin’s lessons. I keep my guitar on the couch and do lots of quick 5 minute sessions here and there during TV ads or when having a coffee. I’m still doing dud chords here and there though but I suppose this improves in time and the key is to just to keep practising and get the finger tips roughed up more. I watched a program with Eric Clapton and he said that even he does these basic exercises and to never forget the basics.

This is probably not the right video to ask the question under, but I hope you can answer me anyway.. I keep getting ugly noises between the chord changes.. the chords themselves I do get clean, but when I release/press the new one.. you get this ugly sound. I can't seem to figure out how to avoid it.. sometimes it's more, sometimes less.. but maybe there's a trick for it - or something I can pay attention to.
@cubesandpi4 жыл бұрын
Is it the sound you get when you're sliding your fingers along the string? If so, try to lift your fingers a little further off so you aren't applying as much force to them. Additionally, better strings will have less string noise

When I'm moving from the D chord to the A chord, I can move my 2nd and 3rd finger together so the change is real fast. But then I'm doing vice versa, I can't move the two fingers together no matter how much I try. I can't put distance between the two fingers enough to move the 3rd finger to the 3rd fret at the same time as moving the 2nd to the first string of fret 2. Any help please? 😭😭

It’s hard at first I found because my fingers had not hardened yet. So I had to push very hard until my fingers hardened up and now I don’t feel like I have to smash down so hard to get a clean sound anymore. Are you having buzz trouble? Check and see if you’re contacting any other strings or the metal frets.
