Continuing with Chord Changes

More chord change exercises today. My fingers are still getting beaten up every time I practice, but I can feel the calluses forming! Someone with more hand-eye coordination would have far surpassed me by now in terms of progress. Ah well. Anyway, my D and A chord changes are improving (I think? At least that's what James tells me..) but I haven't really worked on changing to the E chord yet because it's a bit more difficult for me and it requires me to press even harder down on those darn steel strings!

To put my chord changes to the test, I've been trying to play the chorus of the Beatles' first single, "Love Me Do". It's still very choppy sounding but at least it sort of sounds like the it haha. I've placed an order for the song book from Justin Guitar so that I can practice some more songs but it looks like it's going to take a while to get here. I suppose this will allow me plenty of time to perfect this Beatles song until it arrives. Meanwhile, I've been using the sample page from his website. You can see him play it here. It really is a simple song and a really good one to practice the D&A chord changes :)
