Re: hard to catch up!

Hi Ryan117,

Welcome to Chordie. I am afraid to tell you that there are no easy answers, just practice, practice and then some more practice. You have to train your finger muscles and tendons to go to a fairly exacting position for each chord as soon as you think of it and that takes time.

Stick with it though, it may be hard at first, but the rewards are tremendous.

Everyone progresses at different paces.  Don't worry so much about how fast you're progressing compared to your friends, but just whether or not you are progressing at all.
