These are some of the possible difficulties you can run into:
  • The chord doesn't sound clean.Some strings make a buzzing sound and some strings don't give any sound at all.

    Possible solutions:
    • Your finger might be too far away from the fret or too close to it.
    • If a string doesn't sound you might be touching it with the flesh of an adjacent finger. Keep the finger nails of your left hand short.Your fingers should be almost 90 degrees against the fret board and long finger nails prevent you from doing this.
    • Try to apply more pressure
  • The transition between 2 chords goes very slow
    • That's normal for a beginner.Keep on practicing!
      When learning songs, take out the chord changes you have trouble with and practice them a while on their own without bothering about the other chords.
  • Your fingers hurt
    • that's normal too.keep on going till your finger tops produce a layer of corn.
Give yourself some time, your hands need to adjust to the new task they've just been given.
