The squeak is caused when your finger(s) slide across any wound string. The amount of squeak changes based on how hard you are pressing on the string as you slide your finger from position to position.
Based on your description of how you perform the chord change, my guess is that you are dragging the tips of fingers 1 and 3 across the G and B strings while performing the chord change and/or are rotating finger 2 while still pressing down hard enough to cause a squeak.
So, here are my suggestions:
Make sure you are lifting fingers 1 and 3 off the strings before changing position,
Use the least amount of pressure possible to properly fret the strings (squeezing hard is always a bad thing)
Minimize the amount of movement in finger 2 when doing the chord change
Personally, I find using an anchor finger on the A-C chord change to be harder than simply lifting all 3 fingers, rotating your hand and moving the fingers to the new position, then pressing with the minimal pressure required to get a āno-buzzā note. I use the same fingering for A that you do (Justinās preferred method).
Thatās a good question, Margus. I too would assume that the count-in is used to prepare the musician(s) for the time signature as well as the tempo. Iām replying to you in the hope that someone who knows the answer sees the question and answers it for us.
Anyone else finding it next to impossible to play songs for only 10 minutes each practice session? I find that I need the 10 mins to get the chord changes just sorted at a slower tempo for a songā¦ and then spend the rest of the next 20 - 30 minutes gradually speeding it up to when I feel I can play most of the chords without making too many mistakes. Then I repeat this for two other songsā¦ then play a few riffs from earlier ā¦ then play a few of the songs Iām trying to learn on my own (Brain Stew by Green Day is round about it for me right now) ā¦ THEN some more Jeff Buckley riffsā¦ and before I know it ā¦ 90 minutes has gone by.
I honestly wouldnāt know how to play less if you told me toā¦
Happy to suggest a new song for the list. I just started playing along with Justin Guitars a few months ago and I really struggle with songs. I havent found one that I love enough to push past this awkwardness I feel. That is until G chord lessons! Now Manchild by Sebrina Carpenter is my go to song. Its just G, Am, and C. A simple down, rest, down, up, down up strum pattern (1, rest, 3 and 4 and). You might have to hear an acoustic guitar cover first since the song isnāt very guitar forward normally, but it was really easy to replicate once I heard it.
