This is a great video. The lead finger is a good trick. I have been slow at changing chords for a while now but just practicing with this technique for a few hours really helped. I also like the suggestion of completely taking your hand off as you move the next chord otherwise you end up learning moving from one chord to the next vs. learning how to create the chord shape. I love the approach you take to your channel. Lots of great information without showing off coupled with a lot of humor. It makes it a really fun place to learn. Thanks for your efforts here.

Omg thanks for those awesome tips! Especially the tip to keep strumming and not stopping which will decrease the awkward silent pauses in the song and also buy time been chord switching. I'm gonna try this. Also gonna try having a lead finger and putting it down first to create the chord. I have my 1st beginners recital on Sunday and I'm still pausing awkwardly between chords.

Another thing that works for me is just sitting on a transition over and over. Like, it's tempting to try to play through a song if most of the chord progression sounds good, but it's best to focus the practice time on that one chord switch that isn't working. I still am significantly slower getting into the top of the neck D than I am at getting into practically any other type of chord, but by focusing just on the transitions between different chords and D I'm getting better at it.

What works for me is this. Learn how to set each chord correctly in one fluent movement, rather than leading with 1 finger followed by the rest. Learn how to do this for each chord individually. Then start putting chords after each other at an extreeeeemely slow tempo. If you do a chord progression 10 times extremely slow, it will start to feel easier and you will automatically speed up quickly afterwards, but this will only work if you place each chord correctly at slow tempo.

I trained myself to change from cord to cord faster by... let me explain, so say I'm playing a G cord, and in the song I want to go from G to a D cord, instead of just doing that, I'd switch to let's say a C position, but not playing the cord, I'd quickly go to the D cord, and then play. Maybe for beginners this isn't the best way to start, but it got me very fluent. You're basically training your brain to work twice as fast then it needs to, it's also a handly trick to learn if you accidently go to the wrong cord when playing a song, you can stop yourself and quickly switch to the right cord, without any mistakes. This might sound complicated, but try it on the guitar, it's a lot easier than you think, and trust me it will help a lot!

Hey, Sean. When you said FORGET TRADITIONAL VOICINGS, what you meant is Forget Traditional FINGERINGS. The beginner's folk guitar books say to play that G chord with your middle finger on the bass note. Experienced players learn the version with the ring finger on the bass note which you show @4:13. This is the same voicing of the chord with a more efficient, useful fingering. I find the most helpful thing for quick chord changes is to AVOID THE DEATH GRIP. Beginners tend to really press hard to avoid buzzing, but the lightest possible touch will make chord changes quicker and easier. Trust me on this - I play unamplified guitar in a big band with no microphone and high stiff action (looks like you could put a pencil under my strings). I use a extra heavy gauge custom set of strings .014 .018 .029w .039 .049 .062. If I used a Death Grip, I couldn't change chords fast and I wouldn't last one set. - Keep the fine lessons coming!
