Guitar: 20-min daily routine to first clean chord changes

Clean chord changes are the wall every beginner hits. Here’s the daily 20-min that broke through.

Routine

  • 5 min: finger stretches + chromatic warmup
  • 10 min: 4-chord rotation (G · D · Em · C) — focus on transition, not speed
  • 5 min: play one song you love badly

What changed

Week 1: transitions take 2 seconds. Week 4: 0.5 seconds. The trick is slow + clean, not fast + sloppy.
