change smoothly between chords (open chords first,bar chords later), alternate this with practicing (blues) scales. Once you've learn't that learn to arpegiate (spl) and fiddle about with (different) scales.

The above is merely a suggestion, that's how i would do it if i were to start over again.



Try and get it to sound good to you and try not to give a fig what anyone says about your burgeoning skills,or not. :)

A good simple song is (anyone guess..) Knockin on Heavens Door [Dylan's own version without all the solos is easier to learn].

The chords are G D A minor, then G D C , then the whole chord pattern is repeated.

Once you've got the hang of the huge stretch required to get the G chord (initially) you'll be ok.

Stick at it but have a rest when your hand gets at all painful,especially in the wrist department.

Good Luck. :D
