Techniques to Internalize Chords:

1. Repetition is Key: Regularly practice chord transitions.
2. Visualize: Away from the guitar, envision finger placements for each chord.
3. Chunking: Group chords that frequently go together in songs.
4. Auditory Reinforcement: Sing the chord names as you play them.
5. Challenge Yourself: Play without looking at your hands or the fretboard.

With these techniques in hand, the reliance on chord diagrams will fade, giving way to more freeform and soulful playing. Keep practicing, and stay tuned for more tutorials!
