How do i become faster?

Question

switching chords on the guitar?

Answer 1

Learn songs with the desired chord changes you want to practice and practice it over and over by playing along with the song so you are forced to keep up. It works trust me! That's how I learned and I went from a rythm strumming amatuer to playing in a band and playing leads in only a year! And I'm nothing special. I just practice every day. At first I practiced as much as my fingers allowed. But then I practiced four hours a night for a few months. Now I play about three times a day for anywhere from ten minutes to two hours a shot depending on if I'm having fun or not. That's the key. Learn things that inspire you to play.

Answer 2

Only practise will do that! It might not make it perfect, as that saying tells us, but it will help you improve!

I learned by singing country and blues songs, that I already knew and tried to change the chord to keep the same rhythm going. It meant that I had to keep a singing note going long enough to get onto that chord. Soon, that way, I became faster, and learned, self-taught with just looking at the chord formations in a book. I also never felt the pain in my finger tips so badly as the excitement carried me through it.

1: To play by ear, to your own singing or a song on the radio or CD, play it over and over.

2: Write out the lyrics with double spacing in between, to leave space for you to add chords above the words. Try all the chords and see which one fits that particular note. It will sound right and not appear to be fighting, or clashing with the music.

2: Remember, or write that chord down above the words that were being sung, when you found this chord.

3: Having this one chord, you should understand that the other chords will be within three frets of that chord, either up or down the neck.

4: Keep playing along to the music, or your singing, and memorise which chords you played which sounded correct. Write it down over the words it sounded correct on.

5: Now keep practising until you have all the chords in the right order.

6: When you can play the song through right from the start, the first chord you use, will be the key of the song. Write that down by the title.

7: You will find on playing other songs that there is a pattern. This means you will soon find it easy to play by ear, as there are two main basic patterns you can work from. You only need patience and the will to succeed.

6: If you really cannot find an elusive chord, it may be that the music is too difficult at this stage, and there may be a chord, such as a 7th or a minor that you can learn later.

7: Pick very easy songs first to build up your confidence and skill.

Most important: Remember to hold down the strings correctly, not buzzing any of them at all, and do not speed up until you can do this. Bad habits can set in and make it harder for you to learn properly. Do it right from the start.

Of course, if you already have songs with chords written over the words, that will help you to learn the pattern faster, and you can apply that to the instructions above, to learn to play by ear which will be good for you, as you will be able to jam with others.
