As for F and B chords Still practicing but yeah chord changes still have are a issue in general although I have improved a great deal . Perhaps I should get a metronome .


Hey there, I had the same problem with those two chords.... and am still working at improving my speed in switching. The best way to mark your improvement and not get discouraged is to use a metronome and start really slow. I was starting on 40bpm, playing around to find my manageable switch time then practicing on that time for a few days then seeing if I could push it up. After 4 weeks my fingers are getting used to it, my speeds increased and I don't feel like such a gumby any more :-)
