Use the Forward Roll with all the Chords learned so far
Am E A D
Plus learn the new chord C Major shown below.

Practice the forward roll till it is very fluid and making sure all the notes of the chords are clear no buzzing or dead notes
For a complete beginner this may take days or even weeks to perfect. Just keep practicing the mechanics of the forward roll & playing the chords.

Practise this picking pattern till you are totally comfortable with it
It needs to become second nature to build a strong foundation

Listen to the Audio File here and practice the Forward Roll

Exercises 4 times on each of the chords
Am C D A E

The timing (beat) is to be even
1 2 3 4 ~ 1 2 3 4 ~ 1 2 3 4...etc.

Accent on the Thumb. (Make the thumb sound a little stronger than the fingers.)

This is the speed you are aiming for eventually. Practice a little every day.
