Re: Practicing chords for beginners

I'm really having a problem with playing chords. I know 6 chords; G,
G7, C, D, D7, Em.
The problem is moving from one chord to the next. My fingering is
very unsure even after much practice. This holds especially true with
the C, and G7 chords. I know where my fingers should go, but getting
them there is a different story. At 30 beats per minute, I can do a
half baked job, but once I try and go faster...Input? Any suggestions
for practice? I don't have a teacher. I don't know if I want one as
I am difficult to click with.
