  1. you've got to be really fast.


  2. The only solution is to practice until you can grab the chords without thinking about which fingers to use. Also try forming the G chord using your 2,3, and 4th fingers. This makes the transition to a C chord a lot easier.

    you can get much information in this website, If you will check anyone blue link in website.

  4. Really, it is just practice that will help. Imagine the chords in your mind as you are going to switch. So as you are palying that G, think about the C, then when you are almost done with the C, think about the G. It is all about looking ahead and practice. You can't just master chords in one day remember that. It took me a while to move chords without a pause. Just practice and you'll have it in no time.

  5. Choose 3 or 4 chords and make a cord progression (song) with them. Practice the chords a lot, because it is very difficult to get flawless transitions between chords. Also change the pattern in how you strum, not just down-up-down-up, Try going Down-down- down-up-down. Things like that are great practice

    also you should learn the names of the strings.

  6. Practice, practice, practice.  It has to be muscle memory before it gets smooth which means you'll have to do it about 1,000 times!

    I do have to say that when I watched my guitar teacher play something very smoothly I noticed that he didn't pick up all of his fingers at once.  He left one finger on one of the strings so atleast one note of the chord continued while he transitioned to another one.  Now I don't know that it is proper technique but it worked as far as there not being any silence between the chords.  I would try that once or twice but still practice the right way which is just to switch really quickly.  

    I know your frustration!  Switching from a G to a C isn't easy because you do have to make what feels like pretty big jumps to get there.  I found that if I started one of my warm ups with just cycling between G, C, and D I eventually got those transitions down.  And they are very common chords so there is no way you're wasting your time, you're building a foundation to learn more!  Good luck and good for you for learning to play!  IT's a really cool talent to have!
