Just trying to inject some life into this community beyond NGD post.

What techniques are you struggling with right now? What does your practice routine look like for improving that skill? Any advice you want to give to the other players on here?

I'm a super beginner so I've been working on basic chords and playing along with a click track. My God is tempo difficult for me especially as I haven't fully mastered fingering positions.

But hey, I'm a little bit better than I was yesterday and that's all I'm aiming for.

When I first started one thing that helped me get chord transitions was doing 3 minutes of alternating between two chords super slowly and making sure they were perfect, then doing three minutes moving literally as fast as I could with no regard to how sloppy it was.

Doing both seemed to help my brain meet in the middle much faster.

It is so hard to build that muscle memory up, but you will get there! Remember, "slow is smooth, and smooth is fast."
