Hi there,

You want to give yourself some time. You might be expecting a bit much from yourself I reckon. I've been playing a while now (about 18 months self taught) and have joined this site for a bit of direction so I'm still in the early stages but in my experience to expect smooth chord changes at this stage is being harsh on yourself. I get very frustrated sometimes and wonder when I'm going to see some progress but it does come eventually.

My step dad has played all his life and used to play with some big bands as a session guitarist and he said when he was learning, he locked himself away for months and months simply practicing chord changes. It's not a race

Everything slowly and I hear the speed will come!

Good luck with it,
