Tip: If your finger is in the wrong position, you’ll hear a muffled noise or rattling sound. Reposition your 3rd finger just behind the 3rd fret. Press down firmly so that the string rings out clear but not so hard it hurts your fingers. Make sure the rest of your fingers are not muffling other strings; that will muffle the other notes you’re playing in the chord.

Go slow. Be accurate. Try this guitar chord progression.

You won't do this perfectly in a few hours or even a few days. So take your time to practice. After playing around with the guitar chords, practice playing the following pattern.

  • Strum the G major chord down 4 times.
  • Switch to the D7 chord. Strum down 4 times.
  • Switch to the C chord. Strum down 4 times.
  • Switch to the D7 chord. Strum down 4 times.
  • Switch back to the G major chord. Strum down 4 times.

This progression will be challenging, but it will vastly improve your fingering of these chords and their transitions. Repeat and practice this progression over and over until it’s easy. The guitar chord namer above will help you find the guitar chords and get you back on track if you forget.
