First off, this is my first post, awesome site!! im from cincinnati , ohio 25 yrs old and have been attempting the guitar. Ive Been playing (trying) just on and off for about a year. I can learn intros and snippets untill it gets too complicated :) but now im ready to really get into it. My fingers are pretty well worked to hold chords with no pain, and keeping off of other strings to get a good clean sound. However i still have some trouble switching chord to chord cleanly, which im sure is not uncommon. I have been working on training myself to switch chords without looking which has worked to certain a degree, but sometimes fails me. Things would be much simpler if i could train myself to learn the strings (picking, not strumming) without looking instead. but is very discouraging :( Is there any exercises anyone know that may help me? thanx for any help
