@BarbaraM, for me, the hands down absolute game changer for learning and changing chords was “Hovering” exercises. Make a nice chord shape on the fretboard while pressing down the strings. Now lift your fingers just off the chords and keep that shape for a few seconds. Start to increase the amount of time you can hover above the chord, It is hard, but eventually gets easier. You’ll be surprised how fast your fingers distort after removing them from the strings. This builds muscle memory, and forms the ability to have the shape already formed prior to fretting. So, when switching from G to C, you already have the C shape memorized and ready to go. I still do this when learning new strange chord shapes, especially barre chords. The anchoring thing never clicked with me, and doing the above helped me more than anything.
