playing technique Sep 02, 2021

3 ways to speed up chord changes is what we're covering in today's guitar lesson for beginners. Hey guys, Brad Litton from SimpleGuitar.com here with another beginner guitar lesson for you that will help you speed up chord changes. The first major road block to being able to change chords fast & smooth is not understanding all of the biomechanical steps that your body & brain have to go through to perform a chord change. So I'm going to break that down into the 7 steps that have to happen so that you can make that easier & then I'll give you an exercise using a metronome to help you with your chord changes. Then we'll go over the one minute changes exercise I got years ago from Justin Guitar that has really helped a lot of my students over the years. By using these three tips your chord changes will become a lot smoother and a lot faster & make you sound like a rock star.
