Thats it man. I always start with the chords. I played them over and over not only with the lessons I made up my own stuff too. I really spend the majority of my time practicing chord changes. A few things that I came up with was too download a stopwatch. Then for 2 mins I would change between 2 chords with no stops or distractions. This really helped me out.

As far as my current roadblock its the open A major. My fat fingers just don't always go were I tell them lol but I am making progress.

Also still hammering away on Barre Chords which in my opinion are much easier to play except for the A major shaped HAHAH.

Now with all that concentration on switching chords I now am lagging behind in picking skills. Not so much with scales but going from chords to picking a few notes then back to chords.

I am still trying to memorize the notes, I think this would make everything so much easier, and at the same time also trying to actually learn what the notes represent on sheet music. This is defiantly where I am hung up but I am not complaining it is just still too much fun,
