Hello, just ran across this site while looking for some christian songs that could be played by just using simple chords. I'm just learning to try and play the guitar so there is no experience here.

[kennethnchacon]

me too im quite excited about it too

[rpvinny]

Do you have any skill at playing, Im just getting into trying to learn, but cant read music and memory isnt the best but I hoping to be able to learn something about how to play

[Pauler]

welcome to the both of you

there are a ton of experienced players here...just ask away.

Seems like Im having alot of difficulty being able to move quickly from one chord to another, I read that when you do this you should pick your fingers up just enough to clear the strings then reapply them to the strings of the new chord simultaniously but thats not very easy for me, I seem to apply my fingers sort of one at a time when moving from one chord to the next.

Your fingers just need to know where they are going before you hit the chord, this is all muscle memory. Your hand will learn over time the shape it needs to be in to press every chord. It really is just a matter of practice, practice, practice.

Your probably right I guess its just going to take time, I know my finger tips are sure getting sore but I guess thats just part of the routine hopefully, thanks

I've heard that expression before, muscle memory, I just hope my muscles memory is better than mine which has seemed to slip over the last few years.
