Here are five tips for better chord changes: 1. Think Ahead Know what chord comes next so you can prepare. Looking ahead prevents having to pause and think about what to do. 2. Stay Close to the Fretboard Don't lift your fingers high off the fretboard.

Step #1: Keep it Close It's simple. The less you move your fingers, the faster you change between chords. The truth is, the weaker your fingers are, the further from the strings they'll move when you change chords. You may not have noticed just how high they're lifting off. Try this: Change between 2 open chords, such as G major and E major.

If you're learning guitar at home, setting up a comfortable practice space is key to wanting to sit down and play more often. It's also pretty important to understand chord families, which could help during transposing. Here are 8 concepts every guitarist needs to know to change keys with ease: 1.
