Ping-
Sounds like you’ve made the first step in figuring out these “chord-things”, by identifying which string buzzes on which chords. What you have written is very detailed– and that’s good. Your brain KNOWS what the problems are- and will work to correct them.
My suggestion(s)- I have two- (and they are based on my limited ability and experience- and this is nothing new or earth-shaking….)—
1. Slow down and GET THESE BASIC CHORDS RIGHT. To the point of being automatic. No matter what the combination. No peeking at either hand. Close-your-eyes automatic. There’s NO magic bullet, and no shortcut– it takes time, effort and repetition. But— you WILL begin to see improvement, and you will deeply enjoy that sense of accomplishment. It’s only you- you have done it- and you will own it.
Enjoy the trip. It’s not about the destination- it’s about the ride.
2. So much of learning guitar is like going up a ladder- getting “this” step right makes the NEXT step easier. Many times the lessons build upon each other- (a “crawl/walk/run” thing). This is NOT to say in any way- do NOT go to “the next lesson until you have — “mastered”— a lesson, because I think TAC is also designed to give you a “well-rounded” program that provides a good foundation in an “all-around” sense. So even if you haven’t maybe gotten a lesson “perfected”- keep movin’ on…… but DON’T hesitate to look in the rear-view mirror once in a while- (favoritize or print out a lesson that was tough) and go back to it from time to time– it’ll get easier. You learn way- WAY- more from 6, 10-minute sessions than 1, 60-minute grinder.
You know if you need to do more on a lesson or not. Be humble enough with yourself to get it right.
All that said- Welcome to TAC!!!!
Hope some of this made sense to you.
