I've noticed one other thing that I fell compelled to bring up... when switching between the 3 or 4 cords I know, it seems like I'm picking up my entire (fretting) hand in order to switch. But, when i watch video, etc, it seems like "pros" switch one finger at a time (that may not be hte best way to explain it, but it's like when watching a video, I see each figure move independently).... it's like, my hand moves as a whole no matter what cord I'm going for, as opposed to moving one finger at a time (does this make sense?)

if you can't tell already, I'm a visual learner.... comments on this would be appreciated as well. Thanks!
