You don't need hand-eye-coordination for a chord change, dumbass.

Before you build muscle memory I imagine that's what it is.

Eyes play a ridiculously small role.

When people first start out on guitar, they learn by looking at and placing their fingers in proper positions. It's not until your fingers gain familiarity with the instrument that you can finger chords without looking, so I can see his point.

But you'd have to be legitimately retarded for hand-eye-coordination to have any measurable effect on the quality of your playing, even as an absolute beginner.

Well, yeah. I mean, just look at him.

Fair point.

Hand eye coordination, spatial reasoning, dexterity, whatever. Mine is **** and it makes me bad at all kinds of physical tasks. I've been told at work that I look like I'm working in slow motion at times because while making a sandwich I simply can't move my hands as quickly and accurately as at least a decent percentage of other people without starting to **** up even after years of this ****.

I've seen you play video games. You're the kind of player that I wanna grab the controller from and do it myself. Frustrating. So frustrating.
