Then move on to repeatedly hammering your middle finger on the 2nd fret, A-string. Repeatedly hammer-on and pull-off of each note in a chord using one finger at a time with the left hand.įor instance, if you want to practice a G major, hold the chord and mash on and off the 2nd fret on the C-string repeatedly with your index finger. Practice Muscle Memory ExercisesĬomplement the above approach by developing your finger’s muscle memory. Break down the chord into its individual parts and when transitioning to the chord keep your right hand strumming so you donʻt lose the beat. In general, the most efficient approach is to start by fretting with the index finger and working up through your digits, one at a time, to the pinky.įor example, when making an Em chord, start with the index finger on the A-sting, then the middle finger on the E-string, and then finally the ring finger on the C-string.ĭisciplined practice will help decrease the delay in forming the chord. For chords that involve utilizing multiple fingers, there are a variety of ways in which you can add your fingers to the strings. The simple act of mindfully placing your fingers onto the fretboard in the most efficient order possible can help make your life easier. You can also mute the unplayed string with your left hand, touching the string with a leftover or leaned-over finger to keep it from ringing. This may take practice, but will open up new ways to play chords and new tonality to your repertoire. Use a three-finger pluck with your right hand to create a clean articulation of the triad. When playing only three notes, one string will need to be kept quiet. Playing a triad might demand some attention to your technique. Use this as an opportunity to learn some basics of chord theory and break down the structure of the chord. For major chords this is the 1, 3, and 5 notes of the scale, for a minor it’s the 1, b3, and 5.
