hey baali, u learned chords.... right... practice them till u get them perfect. simultaneously also go for the major and minor scales. i think u should also ask for advice from the other chaps on these site. they have awesome knowledge
nope pretty much pacificwaters is right, you gotta perfect your chords so that each string rings when you play it, also sliding barre chords and changing chords should also be mastered. Good song to learn right about now for you is Eric Clapton - Old Love as it has some nice barre chord changes in it as well as a few changes where your only changing the notes on two strings of the entire barre chord, basically you will then realise the importance of getting each string to ring. then learn the scales, it doesnt matter if you didnt learn scales but your going to need to learn them now. Start with major, then minor then the pentatonic majors and pentatonic minors. Once you've done that you should definetely learn how to make harmonic sounds on the guitar. Also during throughout this time keep up the spider work as well as the right hand strumming exercises. because by the time you get through this you should be a master at ryhthm guitar. Next would be to learn the lead work. Also make sure you're playing your chords on time and get into a habit of playing on time with the music so a metronome may be very handy. It would make lead work easier.
