chord playing and scale playing is all muscle memory. So for you wanting a reply other than "practice" thats all you will get because thats what you need to do.
The way you get your muscles to remember the chords and scales is by playing them continuously. which is called practice.
But if you want to get better at it, you can choose a set of chord you might find hard to play and transfer between them over and over til you can hit those right.
I've been playing guitar for 6 years now and Even when I find a new chord it takes me a couple minutes to get my musicles trained to memorize it and be able to transfer without buzzing.
So just take your time on making clean, easy transfers of chords. discover new chords and new chord progressions, practice those and move on doing the same thing.
A good way to do this do a couple cover songs or what not.
thnx for replies
ya im doing animals-house of the rising sun
the muscle memory is what im talking about, i know i need practice.
im just wondering what the best wway of doing that is.. playign the same chord over and over, but taking fingers off every time. playing one note at a time in the chord? playing as quickly as i can with mistakes?
im just looking for insight, i can see that im improving, just want to make sure im not wasting any time ;P
