@joseph-vitzen Welcome the TAC family.
There’s a great way to practice transitions by using a metronome. It can be either a physical one or an app. I use a metronome app called Pro Metronome. Set it at 4:4, turn the dial to a low tempo, such as 30-40. Work on transitions between 2 chords. I typically take the first 2 chords in a song, then I take the 2nd and 3rd, 3rd and 4th and so on. Any chords that are next to each other, but only work with 2 at a time. Start the metronome. On the first click strum your chord, then transition to your next chord during the 2,3, and 4 beat. On the beginning of the next set of 4 beats, strum the chord, and again use the 2, e, and 4 beat to transition. Once you’re able to do that 20 times in a row with any errors, the bump the speed up by 10. Start the process again. Keep increasing the speed as you’re able to transition smoothly and without erre. I guarantee this works.
I learned power chords both with 2 and with 3. 2 is definitely much easier. Give it your best shot with 3 fingers, then mark it complete and ove on. Don’t let it trip you up and stop your momentum or energy. We’re all about progress rather than perfection. You will continue to improve just by the forward momentum. Also, of a 2 finger power chord works for you, keep on doing it.
