Hi Mike, Newbie here. Been playing for a few weeks now working I have completed Guitar Basics one but I need to go back and continue practicing hitting the base note then struming the chord (I think it will help me as I was just ignoring that aspect before and just struming the chord not hitting the base note then strumming) Sorry got off subject. My question is about the song how forever feels I am attempting to make this my first real song to play. The question I have is how best to get from the Em to the C chord on bar 3. I can get to the Em (down down up) and then just cannot get to that C smoothly. I slowed the video down and watched over and over and it does appear that you hold the Em on the upstrum then switch to the C before the down strum. I have even been trying to lifting up on the Em on the up strum and then fretting the C before the downstrum and just cant seem to get it.

Any suggestions or thoughts?
