I have a feeling you are a much more advanced player than I. Nonetheless I want to chime in on this topic. I started doing chord progressions, not with my eyes closed, but in low lit and dark areas and trying to look away from the guitar for the past 4 months or so (about a year after I started from absolute beginner). I will usually follow the chord progression of songs, without strumming them while I’m watching TV. Depending on the chords before and after I may use a different shape to make the transition easier. It always helps if you can leave one finger planted while minimizing the movements of the others. If that’s not possible then perhaps the shape can remain largely in tact and I just have to move it 1 string up or down and just a touch up or down the neck.
