    0:00 - Intro
    Let's dive into tips and tricks to get better at changing chords smoothly and quickly!
    1:32 - Tip #1
    Choose a chord you know REALLY well and make sure each string rings out and sounds good.
    2:42 - Tip #2
    Be mindful of what each of your fingers is doing when playing chords.
    3:21 - Tip #3
    Spend time playing the chord and then releasing your hand entirely.
    4:14 - Tip #4
    Keep checking in! Whenever you do the on-and-off exercise, make sure the chord you're playing still sounds how it should.
    5:05 - Tip #5
    Isolate two chords at a time. Try with the two most difficult chords you know!
    7:07 - Tip #6
    Always think ahead of what your next chord change is going to be.
    8:20 - Tip #7
    Start on the root note of the chord when switching to buy some time for the rest of your fingers to fall into place.
    8:54 - Tip #8
    Sometimes there are common tones between chords and you can find anchor points.
    9:41 - Tip #9
    Practice without looking at your fretting hand.
    13:03 - Tip #10
    Start by playing power chords but slowly replace them with bar chords until you're comfortable playing only bar chords.

She has since been featured in Rolling Stone magazine, become a member of the Ernie Ball and Fender family of artists, and earned various Berklee College of Music scholarships.

    After 50 year playing I still feel it's great to brush up on the basics. The power chord, (also known as the 5 chord (A5, D5, etc) is a great way to play what I like to call economic fingering) allows you to stay within 4 frets of any given chord progression. Really helpful when there are dozens of chords in a given measure, by playing the chords on the higher octaves as well as the lower.

  • @hartcons
    @hartcons 3 года назад +2

    Always enjoy your videos! Nice to see a Fender acoustic. I have a red Malibu. When I first pick up the guitar I can do pretty well on chord changes but then over time it starts to get sloppy (like on D sometimes I'll just slide the high e string right off the fretboard). I guess I need to head to the finger gym (or maybe put 10s on instead of 11s). Dminor and 3-string B minor are ones where I have trouble landing on them consistently. my index finger has the trigger finger problem so I haven't been able to barre with it.

  • @ronsimpson7596
    @ronsimpson7596 3 года назад +4

    Best way to learn chords is take a simple song sing along with recorded version in the same key, capo if required, this gives you tempo, rhythm and bonus it’s lot of fun to sing along with your favs, pick simple chords and repeat until perfect! This is best way to learn!

    LOL! Talented, funny, and a great instructor as well! "My name is Ayla. Your name is not Ayla." That made me chuckle. "Niecho. Pronounced like NEE'ko, a nickname for Nicholas. A pleasure to meet you! I'll be signing up for Guitareo lessons I am sure within a month-ish!" I've noticed watching videos of others starting to learn, I'm noticing things just to watch out for myself such as transitions, keeping the rhythm / strumming steady even if it takes my fret hand a bit to catch up, etc. You seriously inspire your viewers to think they CAN do this. Well done!
