There are some important tips for beginner guitarists, which will help to bring improvement in holding and changing chords . All of these techniques are self-implemented by me, and I definitely recommend you to give these a try. These includes tips from various YouTube lessons for guitar by some greats artists, some really cool tips from various websites that not anyone can tell you and tips from my guitarist friends. In this post you will fine almost all of the guitar chords and few things that I analysed myself
.
Learning guitar needs only and only ONE THING and that is PRACTICE. More you practice, quickly you'll learn playing and at a stage your hand and fingers will move over the strings automatically, you can achieve that fluency by practicing. And this will take maximum 2 months of serious practice. Serious practice doesn't mean practicing playing guitar for hours, in fact small 15-20 minutes sessions are enough.
Don't keep your guitar in case or in cover, keep it open in your room. So that, whenever you're free you can strum few strings, that's what I did and do till now. Believe me, these random small sessions are much beneficial than when you really take out time to practice guitar. If you're watching a TV, just take the guitar and start practicing chords, this will increase your multi-tasking power, which is very much required if you want to sing and play guitar simultaneously.
When you'll try to sing and play guitar at the same time, its not going to be easy, as you'll have to keep two things in mind, one is the chord progression and strumming pattern and other is the lyrics of song. When you'll sing either you'll forget the strumming pattern or the chords or the lyrics of song. Yeah these are things that I'd gone through, and I just had to keep patience.

Tips for Chord-progression:
The first and foremost thing that you need to concentrate and work on is your chords and their progression. and for that you need to know few simple tricks. Chords progressions can be challenging unless you'll not be knowing these simple tricks.
First of all you have to be sure that you're finger positioning is correct. Although I myself believe that if something is working then its not wrong. So common thing to keep in mind is that you're comfortable with holding the chord in that position and when you're shifting to other chord which has one more common string then at least one of your finger should stay on the same string, you should not have to move that finger. for example for C-major, E-minor and A-minor, middle finger is common and while shifting from E-minor to C-major or to A-minor or in any way, the middle finger stays at the D-string or the 4th string (starting from High E).
This will help in making your finger familiar with the chord shapes. You'll start changing chords like the way you text on phone without looking at the keypad, you fingers knows where to move next and same will happen here, if you'll use this technique. And other thing is you need to know is while you're changing a chord, the gap between your fingers and the strings should as much as the thickness of a credit card.
There's a lot more I need to tell you.. But I am running out of time, so I'll continue later.
Once again, I request my readers to let me know, if there are has to be any kind of corrections to make.
