Co-ordination between your hands
When changing between chords, ensure that the fretting hand arrives on the new chord
at precisely the moment the plectrum strikes the strings on the first beat of the
new bar. Enough time must be allowed for the fretting hand to reach the new chord
as well to ensure the new chord is played on the first beat of the next bar.
Use the multimedia files to help you understand what you have to do in this exercise.
When you play along with the play-along files you can change the tempo and cycle
the exercise round and round. You can also mute the guitar track and replace the
guitarist, so that you play exclusively with the band.
You will hear four clicks to introduce the track, then play along playing chords
each bar. Make sure you count to four, so that you know when to change chords.
