How many chords are in a sequence (chord sequences question here)? Should I just pick two chords?

I prefer to start with the thinnest string, because that is much easier than the thickest. When you work form thin to thick, each step becomes a little harder.

Just had to share this with all of you..

Im moving on to the next stage! This method definetly works even for someone like me :)

Results as of today:

The Strumming pattern feels comfortable.
I can kind of play Van Morrison - Brown eyed girl.
My foot tapping is decently timed with the metronome at 60.

1 Minute Changes results:

C-Am: 82
C-A:   63
C-G:   50
G-E:   56
G-D:   62
A-Dm: 59
Am-Dm: 59

Looking forward to some new challenges =)

Is it just me, or is everybody else going through stage 3 much slower?  I'm practicing daily even more than the suggested minutes, and I feel like I'm going to be on this stage over twice as long as the previous 2.  Switching between certain chords is tough, which makes it difficult to play all of the new songs. I'm getting nervous for future stages. I do like the rhythm changes and finger exercises.

It takes as long as it takes - everyone is different. Be guided by Justin's suggested competency milestones before moving on. I took a year to complete the beginners course, but I've 3 small kids and an hour a day is about all I have.

If anything, I'd suggest taking it slow and trying to learn as many songs as your ability/level allows.

Thanks Drubbing  that gives me a better time frame of when I can complete this. Are you working on intermediate now?

I think it's normal to get stuck on stag three for a while. You're really just hitting your first couple of chords with a significant distance in finger placement. Switching between them is no picnic either at first. I was there for a good three weeks iirc.

It just takes some time and work, but you'll get there. You'll be glad you put in the time too, because you will be using those two chords A LOT.

I am. You'll hit a few walls between now and then, I wouldn't have an expectation of how long a stage will take based on previous ones.
