Hi @aprildemesme-com and welcome to TAC. Just so you know, I prefer to play full barre chords so there may be some bias in my response. Are you playing power chords with two fingers or three? Personally, I find two fingers a little uncomfortable and (for me) playing that way can lead to sloppiness. That’s why (for me) three fingers are more comfortable – index on the root, ring on the 5th and pinky on the octave – my entire fretting hand feels comfortable this way and all I have to do is “lock in” the shape and I have no problems with transitions – fret to fret or string to string.
But I’m sure as you continue to practice, things will come back to you as they used to be. Enjoy the journey and remember to have FUN along the way.
