Lesson 5

Sweet Home Alabama is actually really simple once you know how to play D, G and C9 very well. A guitar exercise that I did with my guitar teacher really helped with me learning my chords. He would call out random chords and I would have to play the chords in the same order he called them out and in the strumming pattern he told me to do. This would really help you learn chords. At first, getting your fingers on the chords might be a little bit hard and you might be a little slow. But, after you learn them and get used to them, then you'll know exactly where they are, how to play them and you will be able to get to the chord right away. Just try this exercise and have someone call out the chords to you and you practice playing.
