Don’t be disheartened. Transitioning chord shapes takes time. My suggestion is to concentrate on four basic open chords such as D, A, C and G. Find songs with them that you like and work on them even if your tempo is really slow. You will start teaching your fretting fingers to have muscle memory as you go from one shape to the next. It took me about a year to gain speed and not think about finger placement. Practice, practice, practice – even for just ten minutes.
