Switching between two chords

Lesson 5 of 810 min

Change shapes smoothly without stopping the beat.

[Placeholder — replace with Matt's lesson]

Move your fingers together as one shape rather than one at a time. Aim to arrive on the new chord just before the next strum.

Start slower than feels necessary. Smooth comes before fast.

Practice

Suggested: 8 minutes

[Placeholder — replace with Matt's lesson]

Strum the first chord for four beats, change, then strum the second chord for four beats. Keep the metronome going the whole time.

Keep practicing this one. Marking the lesson complete means you've worked through it, not that you've mastered it.
