Hi Slickrick. I, too, have slow transitions. I get discouraged for it seems I take 1 step forward and 2 steps back in progress. It seems to me that I need to lower my expectations and slow down my speed. If I recall correctly, Tony has said he doesn’t expect us to ‘master’ each lesson, just work though it to be familiar with the lesson knowing you can go back to it at any time. I’m approaching 70 and keeping all of the info in my head is a little challenging! So I go back and forth in my playing the lessons hoping to improve each time but it is slow for me too. I have trouble stretching my fingers to reach some frets, too. Keep on truckin’.
