Hang in there! I remember very well how frustrated I’d get in the beginning, feared that I’d never develop any speed. But eventually your fingers develop that muscle memory and chord changing becomes almost automatic (though that isn’t happening yet for me with barre chords, alas!)
As the others suggested, learn a few favourite 3 or 4 chord songs – I find that much more motivating than doing repetitive drills. Don’t know your musical tastes, but if you like country take a look at “Wagon Wheel”. It has a catchy rhythm, and uses the same chord progression for all the verses and the chorus (G -D -Em – C). You’ll find lots of tutorials on YouTube.
Best of all keep coming back to Tony’s daily challenges – even if you find some of them hard now, believe me, sticking with that regular habit pays off big time! And it’s great that you came to the forums, there are many veteran TAC members who are eager and willing to offer advice and encouragement.
