Hi JP,

Totally normal problem, and good question.

eventually, yes, your goal will be to get all those fingers to land at once, as much as possible.

Meanwhile, as I teach in Guitar Fundamentals, you always want to be following a specific strategy. Yes, you might be moving one finger first in this case, but there is a specific reason for it, built in to my training process.

And that is essentially: what does this chord have in common, if anything, with the chord that came before it in the song?

I have have long sections on this you might want to check out in Guitar Fundamentals, and they are very specific as to how to get from one particular chord, like C, to another particular chord, like G.

chords happen in the context of songs, which are moving things. So it’s not just about the current chord, but also, what came before, and where are you going next - and finding a strategic pathway to string all those together so the music flows.

Make sense?
