Great advice! I really appreciate the help. I also tried a lighter gauge pick and that seemed to help. I’m a work in progress…..but undaunted. Just having fun.

Thanks for the suggestions and help. I imagine that it is just like anything else…practice makes perfect. After thinking about it and digesting your advice, I’ going to incorporate a down AND up into the chord change exercises. In an effort to help with my chord change speed, I will do a rapid-fire chord strum exercise where I change a chord each strum. I have been only doing the down stroke, why not add an upstroke to help with my shortcoming. Anyway, thanks for the reply and encouragement. This place rocks.
