Hey @PugDad it sounds like we have both been playing for about 2.5 years. I’m probably about a month shy of that, and started very consistent play in July of 2024. I’m still slowish on some chord transitions, but I’m getting better, I just go through them daily. Some of the songs I want to play require very fast transitions but there are many where you can get away with being slower. I make sure I play through one song for at least 5 minutes every day. I’m close now to being able to keep pace with a number of songs.
Braden mentioned the “hack” of just strumming even if you haven’t completed your transition. Tony has also mentioned the same thing in at least one of the daily challenges. I find this very difficult, my brain wants to halt if my left hand isn’t in place yet, but this is a very good thing to practice because rhythm trumps melody. If you don’t break rhythm it covers a number of flaws.
