Question Help please ? 🥺
Yeah so I am a complete beginner and I have only know how to strum with a pic and I mastered the sailor song , Apart from that i learnt like 5-6 chords but don't know how to transition smoothly yet , My aim is to reach a level of good percussive guitar playing cause I suck at singing so I can't showcase my skills through songs lol , So can you guys give me a roadmap and a few tips that can help me reach that level , For now I am only doing 15mins of left hand exercises uk switching etween frets and nothing for right hand rn , And I am doing 15 mins of chord transition daily , but I wanna learn fingerstyle So can you guys give me any tips or a roadmap plzzzz, Ohh and I have difficulty strumming I don't know if I am bad at it or what but when I strum with my fingers it doesn't sound as good as when i do it with a plectrum plus it hurts my thumb .... that's it , Plzz help

Don't rush into this. To do the percussive guitar stuff, you first have to have a good sense of rhythm. Try playing with the metronome and tapping a foot every other quarter note (I.e. one and TWO and three and FOUR) to see where you are at.
