How to Change Chords on Time While Strumming Guitar 

Thanks, Daniel. I appreciate that!

That's great. I'm glad to hear that.

You're welcome Dougal. Thanks for commenting.

Tomas Michaud you explained it really well, the part in which you explained that we should change the chord few seconds before, was 👌👌👍.

Although it sounds great and experienced players may do it but thinking about the next chord doesn't really help that much. (If you can't correctly form the shape then you can't really visualizing it) It really just comes by instinctively knowing when the next change will be through the rhythm. Consistent practice is the key getting your hand use to forming the chord shape. Anchor fingers work well as well as two finger chord shapes for extremely slow learner's to get finger Independence going and then add the third finger after the first two are comfortable resting correctly on the strings. Just my opinion though. I've tried​ it several ways from several different teachers and have gotten success from the methods I've mentioned and I've only been playing 3 weeks. Although not cleanly but most certainly in time I can play and sing the song Turn the Page by Bob Segar (Em D A C) and I play the traditional C chord which is a lot harder to change to but sounds better. Dedication and ALOT of practice is what it takes.

Very helpful tutorial.. & teaching style is very good..

pro trick: watch movies on Flixzone. I've been using it for watching all kinds of movies lately.

@Jake Salvador yup, I've been using flixzone} for months myself =)

Hi Nick. It's a problem for many. I did an entire guide on bar chords for that reason. Here's the link: www.tomasmichaud.com/bar-chords-suck/

Thanks Vipul.

You're welcome.

You're welcome Umer.

Thanks, Paul. I have fun making these videos... and I'm happy you like them. I appreciate you taking the time to leave me a comment. It helps me get the energy to make more :)

your way of teaching is absolutely effective sir.Really i was not in a mood to study guitar but after seeing ur vedio i got the interest to study and i just subscribed your channel.i was in search of a good youtube tutor.now i got it.thank u sir.God bls you

most important thing that i have noticed in your way of teaching is that your slow action and the number of times you show the chords so that every one get through to it .yesterday i studied b minor csharpminor chords from your vedios .

You're welcome 😊

You're welcome!

Thanks 🙂

My pleasure Rajesh.

There are 3 factors that you might think about when trying to find your perfect pick. Shape (how pointy the pick is), size (how large or small the pick is) and the sound of the material on the string. You might try a variety of picks to find this out...

Thanks, Peyman.

Thanks Dylan. That one is the Yamaha LL16D ARE Original Jumbo.

That sound like a great idea. Is that a remake of the song by Marshall Tucker or does it just happen to have the same name?

You're welcome Paul. This might help: www.tomasmichaud.com/signup-beginner-guitar-adults/

I think I'm using Band In A Box for this one.

Glad it was helpful Mark! Can you think of any other videos you'd like to see me make?

@@TomasMichaud ... how to make barre chords easier, for dumbies...

@UCIOwahhbV1ecke9TmXTNggg The secret to barre chords is to make sure your 1st finger is straight across the strings, then gradually apply pressure until the strings ring cleanly. After that, add each finger making sure all strings continue to ring. Hope that helps...

@@guitargriff3490 ... Do you do Skype Lessons?

@@markbundy1694 Hi Mark, sorry I've just picked up your message. Yes I do. How can I get in touch with you..?

Hi Raj. I make them. This will help: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6p0ocSX-jUY.html

Thank you Tomas

Hi Richelle. It's nice to hear from you. Many students underestimate how hard it is to finger chords, strum, and change chords all at the same time. The A Team is not terribly hard... but you might want to work up to it. I usually recommend students to learn a few chords and play a few songs that use just those few chords. That way you get the experience of putting it all together before adding more chords and learning more complex songs. Keep at it Richelle... Persistence will carry the day :)

Thanks great advice!

Thanks!

just try to move it slowly and then a bit faster..bit by bit, you'll get it..

@@ahmadalbaihaqqi8253 so i need to move finger by finger or all 3 finger in parallel?

@@alexgochman6654 move your pointy finger first.. the rest will follow..

There are already some great comments here Alex. I would add to create a simple exercise switching from Am to D and practice it a little bit every day. Experiment with all the techniques mentioned as you do this. Many students underestimate the value of doing something over and over little by little and making small changes as you do this..

Thanks Jackie'O.

Thanks Hari.

That sounds about right. It will take practice.

@@TomasMichaud .....Thank you, I'm up now still practicing. Lol

@@TomasMichaud .......Do you provide advice on how to apply notes and rythem?

Thanks David. I'm glad to hear that.

No Tamal Arun. I speak English and rough Spanish.

Wow.. I'd love to hear how it went.

Thanks Harrd.

Thanks 🙂

No problem Matthew... you can play the G any way you want. In fact, I use many different forms of "G". I've created a post with 5 versions here: www.tomasmichaud.com/right-way-play-g-chord/ (there are more).

oh thanks I didn't even know it's have so many variations of G I know f. you see mr. Thomas I don't have a guitar teacher. I tutor myself
