Hi @speckpgh , welcome to TAC. IMHO do not substitute! The transition speed will come in time (with lots of practice). It’s the repetition that builds the muscle memory between the fretting hand and the mind, if you choose to substitute, you’ll be short-circuiting that process. If your current speed is frustrating you, then move on to something else, you can always come back to a lesson at another time (if you want).
Believe me when I say, you will see improvement with just about all of your guitar skills over time if you maintain a regular practice routine – no BS – everyone that’s been here for a period of time will tell you the same thing.
Good wishes with your journey Sean, go Pens👍
