Switching Guitar Chords

It can be a very useful mental trick, when you’re learning to switch guitar chords, to simplify the process of putting your fingers down by asking the following question:

“Which finger will I put down first?”

It can be a daunting task to remember all of those shapes, but if you can remember, for example, that when you switch to the D chord “I’m going to put my middle finger down first,” it can help you to plant the chord faster in time for your next strum.

It’s simple, but effective.
