Hello again! Now that I have bettered my skills at playing basic chords, I decided to try transitioning from one chord to the other. I have tried to do this before and to be honest, it's a lot harder than it looks.

"Try to move all of your fingers at the same time, and change chords in one smooth movement" (Evans 44). This was pretty difficult because all of my fingers could not figure out what string and what fret to go quickly so I ended up having to place my fingers one-by-one at first. This was while I was practicing going from the C chord and D minor chord smoothly. "Change chords slowly at first, counting evenly" (Evans 44). It was important for me to keep this tip in mind because I often found myself rushing from chord to chord, thinking that I would magically be as good as someone like Ed Sheeran. However, going slowly from chord to chord definitely made a difference because it allowed me to take my time to figure out where my fingers needed to go.

| C chord |

| D minor chord |
I made sure to take my time on each chord sequence (C chord to F chord, C to D minor chord, etc.) and make sure that I could proficiently transition from chord to chord before moving onto a new chord sequence. I definitely think that I am a lot better at changing chords now because I took the time to slow down and focus on where my fingers needed to go.
Based on the chord chart in the very first picture, which chord do you think would be the most complicated to play for you?
