Really appreciate the suggestion @KevinZ . I have done that before, but introducing the left hand just slows me way down and the right hand forgets how to function,

Really appreciate the feedback and recommendations @Kitman . The metronome and I have a love hate relationship, but you’re right, it does help. I’ll check out the apps you mentioned.

Hi Eric, and welcome to the TAC community! Guitar is not an easy instrument to play. It takes time and dedication and lots of practice. Keep practicing your chord transitions, and they will get better. Have you taken the 30:days to play course? Suggestion for better chord transitions — use a metronome, and start at a very slow speed and start by playing one chord, and switch to the 2nd chord on the 4 beat. Once you have it down slowly, begin increasing your speed by say 3-5;beats per minute. Then do the same at that speed by starting with the first chord and then switching to the 2nd chord on the 4 beat. Again, once you’re able to smoothly transition, increase the metronome by another 3-5 bpm and start again. You’ll build the muscle memory you need for the chords and transition to the 2nd chord. Hang I there and just keep doing what you’re doing.

Who woulda thunk that singing and playing the guitar would be so difficult. I have no problems singing to the radio – lol. Anyway, will keep an eye out for your first singing video.
