Hello all,

This is my first post here.

I've been working through the Guitar Fundamentals and have seem to have hit a road block in Fundamentals II Chapter 2.

I'm not able to cleanly switch between the chords in the lessons involving C major. Specifically Chapter 2, Sections 3-5. The best I can do is do 6 strums at the chord and then switch to the next chord while skipping the 7th and 8th strums. This is at 80 BPM.

My question is, how long should I be working on this before moving on? Should I be working to 'master' switching between the four chords in the lessons at 120 BPM before moving on? I am getting a little frustrated as my progress seems to have hit a stand still for now.

I've been trying to practice for 1 hour a day lately for 5 days a week but I haven't been as motivated as of late as my lack of progress makes it seem as if I'm not using my time the most efficient way.

Thank you for your help. I appreciate any advice you could give me.
