Lisa — I agree with Mike all the way on this.
Months ago I bought a book titled “First, Learn to Practice”, by Tom Heany.
It leans toward focusing on the MOVEMENT BETWEEN CHORDS as the most important thing.
Learning the finger positions on all the individual chords is important, yes, but a chord just sitting there alone isn’t worth much. Playing one single chord over and over isn’t gonna be much of a song……
Can’t speak for anyone else, but I try to concentrate on efficient and accurate movement BETWEEN them.
And like Mike says– try to learn those slowly, smoothly, and correctly!
Take it from me!- it is hard to un-learn bad patterns and correct them. Do it right the first time.
Keep goin’, keep it fun, do the stretches, and don’t play long enough to hurt your hands.
Just my two bits.
