Hey there, folks. I'm from Latvia, and I'm 14. Not long ago, I got a guitar, and I wanted to learn. In about three months.. I barely learnt anything. So, I decided, that internet lessons would be best for me. After all, it allows you to learn from very talented guitarists.

But, here's the problem part. I don't know why, but I can't progress chords fast enough. When I play things like the Slow Melody Lesson, I can keep up, but when I tried to play the Heavy Metal for Begginers lesson, well, there was a three second pause between the chords. Can I learn to play power chords acceptably by time, or do some people just ''don't have it in them''? Is there anything that could help me with this problem?

welcome to GMC! biggrin.gif

practise should fix that. are you having to pause to put your fingers in the right place? once you get used to positions it'll be easy.

Welcome m8! Have fun here!

As for chords - you'll nail it with time! All you need is to memorize the chords positions and shapes and learn to "grab" them smile.gif

See you on the forum smile.gif

I can assure you that you DO have what it takes to nail these chords! Also that anything is acheivable with practice.

You're still very new to the guitar, so I wouldn't worry too much about how fast you can progress through the chords...just keep practicing them, focus more on accuracy than on speed; keep it up, and over time you'll get faster...trust me biggrin.gif

Welcome!

As others have said, practice is all you need - I still remember the very first time I changed a chord in time to the music after many weeks of practice smile.gif

There is no such thing as complete natural talent when it comes to music. Some people can learn faster and may have absolute pitch but in the end, with practice, anyone can accomplish anything. Check out the quote in my signature and practice! Accuracy first, then speed.

Welcome!

Try holding down the chord, then putting your left hand on your lap, then holding the same chord again. That really helped for me. It also helps to memorise the chords you're most likely to use.
