#Some people want it all chords how to

If you were to place the index finger down first as most beginners do, you would then have something to anchor off, but the problem is this doesn’t strengthen the ring finger and doesn’t help it become accurate, it is just a bit lazy. You are building up much better muscle memory this way.As long as your middle finger and index finger are following quickly this works well and with practice, the middle and index finger pretty much catch up with the ring finger. You can actually start strumming the chord as soon as the ring finger is on, as this is the lowest note in the chord.Try doing it slowly and precisely the ideal way as shown in the super short video and try to apply the G to C chord change using the five times rule for extra benefit.ĭoing it the right way is far better for multiple reasons. Watch this mini video below of me doing it the wrong way and then the right way.

And then finally the index finger on the B string.Then place the middle finger on the D string.When changing to a C chord, I instructed Paul to do the opposite which was to get in the habit of putting the: If he had strummed any earlier, it would have sounded rubbish. Only when the ring finger was placed on the lowest note in the chord, which is the 3rd fret of the A string, could he finally strum the chord. The problem was that by placing the index finger on the B string first he couldn’t strum the chord yet, even when the middle finger went on, he couldn’t strum the chord. I stopped him and explained what was happening and he immediately realised what he had done as we had covered this a while back.

I hadn’t seen Paul for a few weeks due to my recent surfing trip so this little bit of a habit had snuck in somewhere.

Then finally the ring finger on the A string (fret 3).

Then the middle finger on the D string (fret 2).

Then place the index finger on the B string first (fret 1).

As a side note, a lot of beginners struggle just to play the C chord cleanly so you should use a capo to practise with at first as explained in this post on getting clear chords.Īnyway, what Paul did, and most people do when changing from G to C is to: The G to C change in Mother is one that happens in a lot of songs and is one of the toughest changes in the book. Today, I was teaching a lesson with a student named Paul who was learning “Mother” by Pink Floyd and this reminded me I needed to write a post on this issue. This is a super common chord change and one that happens a lot in many popular guitar songs for beginners. Let’s take the tricky G to C chord as an example of this frustrating and harmful habit in action. It is very tough for all beginners (and even for frustrated guitarists who have played for a while). I remember it too well (it was the urge to pull my teeth out with a pair of pliers that did it!) Most of you will know that ideally, you want to put all your fingers on at the same time when changing to a new chord, but that is tough at first. This is not ideal, but it is something that all beginners struggle with at some point. When inexperienced guitarists change from one chord to another, they often take all their fingers off and then place one finger on at a time when changing to a new chord.
