Practice in front of the TV. Yes, really. That`s how I learned and that`s what I tell my students.

Without using your strumming hand, practice fingering one chord, then another and then back again (ex. C-G-C-G) while you are watching your favorite shows. After a while, switch to another pair. Eventually, you will be able to switch without looking.

Do this in addition to your regular practice and you will make faster progress. Promise.

I`m 11 too! Got a nice Admira Malaga. As they say, practise makes perfect. Never try to play too quickly, as it will do no help. If you are practising a good tune, don`t give up . Practising changing simple notes and chords will help, and when you think you are ready start trying some of the more difficult ones. GL!

Wow, I`m 11 too. And I just got my guitar like a week ago. I didn`t start off in a acoustic. The reason I didn`t is because I take the Indian hand drums (tabla). So I fiugerd that I dont need to plus i can read music because I have been playing the saxophone for like 4 years! But, I need help in Power Chords.
