There are a variety of things you can do that can help.


I have had the same struggle and the post by maggior said it all. I practiced chord changes from E-Am-C-G-Em-A-D repeat. I would set the metronome and do 2 strums and swtich each day increasing the speed of the metronome or trying to increase the metronome. Once I had that down I thought I was good to go only to find out most songs don't have that chord progressions. First, song I am trying to learn on Guitar Tricks is Kenny Chensey How Forever feels which has a Em to C change which I just cannot get. My attempt to overcome this will be to practice the swtich from Em-C using a metronome daily again trying to get it faster each day. I figure one day I'll get it.
