Awesome tips for learning and switching chords

“

- Alright so there's another tip I want to share with you about making chords faster and that is to practice squeezing and relaxing. It's very important since it takes a lot of pressure to squeeze a chord down, you want to be able to do this in the most efficient way as possible. You don't need to necessarily press too hard, and you don't want to press too light either. So, let's just make this D7 chord and practice squeezing only as hard as you need to, to make the chord come out clean and then relax. So, that would sound like this. One, two, three, four. (guitar music) Alright now when you're having a difficult time transitioning between chords, it's good to really isolate each chord in pairs. So, first let's just check out moving between G and C. Just going back and forth and really working on that movement. Here we go. One, two, three, four. (guitar music) And now let's isolate the movement between G and D7. Here we go. One, two, three, four. (guitar music)
