@dszmakgmail-com : I liked the question about making chord transitions faster. My solution is counter intuitive but I have had great success. To get faster you must slow down. Slowing down is the first step. Next, relax! Managing tension takes half my mental energy while I play. Start expererimenting with how lightly you can press the strings to get the sound you want. You can not chase speed but you can sneak up on it. When you get good and relaxed mentally and physically with your slow changes between two chords, add a third, then play the whole progression when three chords settles in, get out that metronome and play slow enough you think it is silly while focusing on removing all the tenision in mind and arm, then crank up the speed 3 beats a minute and repeat the process, then add another 3 bpms to the metronome and so on, etc. Lemme know if that tracks with you!
