How to become a Christian
Five Tips For The Christian Guitarist
Tips continued:

4. RIGHT HAND

Relax! Most people hold too much tension in both hands. If you're playing an arpeggio pattern, only use energy for the stroke. Your fingers should fall back down with no tension. 
 
For strumming patterns, you're hand should be like a wet rag... relaxed. 
 
5. FOCUS AHEAD
A simple way to flesh this out is by looking at where the fingers will go next. For example, if you're playing chords in the first fret, but are going to move to a chord higher up on the neck... look at the trets you're moving to, not where you hand is now. You'll get to the new chord with more accuracy. If you're learning a new chord, try to visualize the chord before you change. 
 
Think ahead to the next chord, next measure. Think ahead to where your fingers are moving. Only look, if you watch your hands, to where you're moving too.
