This may be frustrating for you, theguitar teacher, too, when you are not sure about how to solve the problem.  There can be more thanone reason why a student may struggle when trying to change chords smoothly. Sothe first thing to do when dealing with this challenge is to diagnose why theproblem exists. You need to determine if your student has one of the followingproblems:A. A physical coordination problemB. He/she has not been practicingC. A lack of understanding of what needs to be doneD. A mental processing problemMost guitar teachersASSUME the reason is either A. (a physical coordination problem) or B. (littleor no practice). Fact is, most of the time this is wrong. The majority ofstudents actually DO attempt to practice. And TRUE physical coordinationproblems are rare.For most guitarstudents almost all guitar playing problems are caused by their brains, not bytheir hands! This is why many efforts to help them may not work well.As I mentioned before,there can many reasons why a student is struggling with this (or any otherissue) so it is not possible to give a one-size-fits-all solution in anarticle. There are however 3 powerful guitar teaching tips that can help solvethis problem with beginning guitar students.#1. Get your studentsto keep their strumming hand moving IN TIME no matter how far behind thefretting hand may be in forming the next chord. In other words, tell yourstudents (when practicing this way) to NOT allow the strumming hand to wait onthe fretting hand! Practicing in this way will solve a lot of other rhythm andtiming problems in the future for this student! The student should practicethis way about 1/3 of the time until the problem is resolved.#2. Get your studentto not use the strumming hand at all and simply change chords with the frettinghand quickly (rapid fire, one after another). The student should practice thisway about 1/3 of the time until the problem is resolved.#3. Make your studentplay a chord he/she needs to master. Tell him/her to grip the strings hard whenplaying the chord, then to relax totally (WITHOUT taking fingers away from thestrings/chord), then tell the student to SQUEEZE again all fingers at the sametime! Then relax. The goal here is totrain his/her brain to make all fingers move and relax TOGETHER and not onefinger at a time (which is how beginning guitar students make chords on theirown – big mistake)… Repeat this exercise until the student can do it well. Next, have the studentmove fingers off the strings but maintain the basic chord shape while hoveringover the strings…. Then press down on the strings and make the chord… repeatthis many times and then gradually move further and further away from thestrings before making the chord again. Eventually from an open hand the studentshould be able to form the chord easily… but in each case you MUST be sure allfingers are moving and relaxing at the same time, NOT one finger at a time! Thestudent should practice this way about 1/3 of the time until the problem isresolved.Notice that thesesolutions of the problem are all ‘physical’, but they are designed to overcomethe student's “mental processing problem” because the student has not learnedto separate and isolate each motion.  Thebeginning guitar student's brain is overloaded with too much information toapply at the same time, this is why we work on method #1 and #2 above to freethe brain from too much processing at once. The last method (#3) is designed inorder to break the student’s mental processing habit of sending SEPARATE andLINEAR messages to each finger of the hand. What we want is to train the brainto process and send ONE message to all fingers involved.To get more help onteaching guitar and building a successful guitar teaching business, check outthese 15 free guitarteaching tips.
