After watching all the videos about "walk in" to a new chord I still feel uncertain about how to make my own walk in.

What exacly decides what note to hit when switching from one chord to another?

Two things can help you determine which notes to use to walk into or out of chords.

1. The key or scale you are using.
2. The rhythm you are using, specifically how much time you have to get in how many notes.

These tutorials deal with various scenarios in major & minor keys!

I must say, its some times a bit hard to follow your videos. It might be me not being smart enough or the diferent in language. But its often goes to fast.

Anyway, I believe I understand, not sure. But hope I do.
When switching from one chord to the next, you just use the key scale, play "thru the alphabet" to the next chord. Just make sure it sounds good.
Correct?

Yes, that is the basic idea! Also, consider how many beats you have to work with in between chords.

I've gone into more detail in my instructor forum. Check it out!

I have made a simple backingtrack and it turned out pretty good.
All thou, when going from F# to E there is only one note.


That was some good reading! Thanks Chris!
