Damned right, you will.
And, I repeat myself - but...
The goal, right now, isn't speed. In fact, if you try to go quickly then you're going to slow down your learning.
Instead, the goal is to play the chords clean. When you play 'em, they should be clean - no muted strings. It should ring out and sustain.
I know that everyone wants to play single notes, so that they can rip out bitchin' solos and so that they can play 'lead guitar.'
Literally - everyone! (Well, except for a few weirdos!)
But, it's actually the chords that will get your fingers to behave better. You pretty much need to do them both. The muscle memory for one is muscle memory for the other.
Wanna hear my morning's project?
This is our band's demo for a few radio stations, so that they can promote an upcoming show. These are all pulled off live recordings, so you can kind of hear the audience in 'em and there's the ambiance effects naturally.
Sounds pretty awesome. I'd come up with more to say but today isn't a good day. Tomorrow will be better.
What do you have the ability to change that will make today a good day?
That's a rhetorical question, but it's a core part of my philosophy/approach to life. It can be safely ignored, or taken as you wish.
As far as I can tell not a damn thing. I've got some things to go through that are not fun, and there is not getting around it. So I'll man up and deal with it but that doesn't make it fun.
