Excerpt from a 1 on 1 lesson with Stephen - How to transition chords fast (Patreon)

One of the challenges every guitarist deals with in the first year is transitioning smoothly between chords.

What happens usually is that you learn the chords and you learn the fingerpicking/strumming patterns but there's a few seconds of pause in between the chords.

There's a very effective way to tackle this issue, which is to train the brain the right "sequence" of actions to allow a smoother transition to happen - it is easier and can happen much faster than you think!

We use the first note of the new chord as an "anchor point" for the brain and we focus on that, and we use the metronome to reinforce the new habit. As a result, the other fingers fall into place in perfect timing.

Watch the demonstration to get a hang of how this works, and see how much improvement you can achieve in just a few minutes of proper practice.

For some people 2-3 lessons is all they need to break through a specific technical blockage, and with some students I work for longer periods of time to really study the guitar thoroughly.
