How To Teach Guitar Students To Play Chords

One of the most common guitar teaching challenges that you will face is that your guitar students will not be able to change chords quickly. This can be frustrating if you do not know exactly how to help the student solve this problem. In most cases, guitar teachers assume that their student does not practice enough, or they are just not coordinated enough yet to play properly. However, this is not always the case.

The most important thing to keep in mind is that almost all guitar playing problems occur in your student's mind, NOT in their hands. When you teach guitar students to play chords, you should teach them to think with their 'mind' in order to program their fingers.
