Beginner Guitar Chord Tip!
Not looking at your right hand while playing guitar helps with chord changes because it allows you to focus your attention on your fretting hand and the chord shapes. When your eyes are on your picking or strumming hand, you might miss important visual cues from your fretting hand that help you prepare for smooth, accurate chord transitions.
Also, not watching your right hand encourages you to develop muscle memory and touch sensitivity, so you rely on feel rather than sight. This makes your playing more natural and frees up your attention to listen, keep rhythm, and coordinate both hands better. Over time, this leads to smoother chord changes, better timing, and overall more confident playing.
