Re: new to chordie

Welcome Steve.  You sound like you're doing fine.  Practice your chord changes a lot.  There are a lot of chords there to play lots of songs.  Add a new chord once in a while as you come across them.  It'll come to you in time.  The more practice, the better you get.  Good luck and let us know how you are doing from time to time.

I have finally found happiness in my life.  Guitars, singing, beer and camping.  And they all intertwine wonderfully.

Re: new to chordie

hi Steve Welcome Steve.

Sounds like you have got ample chords to start strumming away with.

Go get yerself 5 songs and spend time doing them. Make sure your first 5 are songs you really like and will enjoy playing and ones you think you will not get sick of.
go find a few easy ones with 3 or 4 chords.
If I were you I would go for a song with G,C,Am,D etc, or D,A,G  or E A B

ye get some that are cut out for the job and others just get by from pretending
