I've only just started, so I'm sure this is over analyzing things, but...

When I do my chord transitions, I don't hit all fingers at the same time. I tend to put them on in a particular order. For example, for D major:

e 3
B 2
G 3
D 0
A x
E x

my fingers go on in this order: 1 (on B string), 2 (on G), then 3 (on e). I notice the same thing for Am - 1 then 2 then 3. Most of the others are similar. Is this typical for beginners, and should I work toward all fingers landing simultaneously or will that come naturally??
