Can anyone please help me improve my speed between chords. It seems like it takes me forever to go from chord to chord and I was wondering if there were some exercises that could help me get faster? Thank you!

Try playing fast classical pieces that are based on chords (more chords than runs) - thatīll teach u alot.

this was my major frustration for a long time ( and still is ) it seemed like i would would never be fast enough but it happens. The only way to get faster is to keep doing it. I know how annoying it is when you want to change chords quickly and you cant do it but the best thing to do is just to repeat it over and over again till you get it. You could also stop strumming while you practice so you can concentrate more. keep practicing ;)

I would be so obsessed with what I was trying to accomplish with the chords that I'd let my hands run away with the guitar after a while. It helped me get the cords down if I switched between just two cords at a time for a while, then I found myself playing faster than I wanted to but it still works. I just had to slow myself down again.
