I'm trying to take it slower now. And I'm looking for some drums to buy as my left hand becomes weaker and weaker the longer I don't play.

oh, chord changes. yeah. i practice those with a metronome, and first i set it to something really low, like 50 BPM or something. and i'll do C, C, G, G (or whatever chords you're practicing) with one chord per beat. and once i get it down at 50, i'll increase it just a little bit, to 54, then 58, etc etc. you don't need a metronome to do it, it's actually a lie to say i use mine, because it doesn't even have batteries right now.
but i start out slowly, making sure i can do it at a steady beat before speeding up at all.
