#and also committing to memorizing the fretboard which i can do bc i understand it now...

i listed out all the major and minor chords i use rhe most and just using the fretboard chart i listed out all the notes used and then i checked it against like looking up what the notes were and it was correct !!! so the idea on guitar is youre not pressing down strings that have the notes but making sure all the the strings play one of the three notes in a chord. so like like for am its (a / c / e) but the first string you dont need to press anythinf down cause its already an e....this feels like elementary music theory but its a crazy breakthrough for me LOL
