Hello everyone. I’m a beginner. Just learned c chord a few weeks ago. But I can’t put my fingers on the three strings at the same time. Super frustrating. Is there a specific drill that I can do to learn simultaneity? Thanks for any tips or advice!

Just lots of practice. Also, if you get the root on time, it can buy you a sec to get everything else in place and it can still fit nicely.

Try different exercises like lifting your hand off the fretboard and placing it back down in position repeatedly to build muscle memory. Practice chord changes slowly and accurately to improve your finger coordination.
