[br]Short answer. Second option, but make sure you do keep at it. i.e. work on the stuff you find hard, not the stuff which comes easy.

For further help recommendations;

A. How are [u]you[/u] playing it?

B. Which chord [u]specifically[/u] are you slow changing to /(from?) it?

Two years in I can play it and have no problem with it any voicing any more than B7, Bm all forms and haven't for > 18 months, so my recommendation would be to continue with progress, but also put in the time getting B right, especially if it's a chord which features or will feature a lot in the songs you intend to play. Ultimately it's just about evaluating accurately what the particular obstacle is to your smooth transitioning and putting in the time hands on until you develop the desired level of competency. There 's simply no substitute for repetition. The key to it is making it a fun rather than laborious exercise.

To that end, finding a song you love which uses or requires a particular chord is the optimum way to drive yourself to do that IMPE. e.g. I played a lot of early Beatle's material from the outset, so mastery in changing at fairly quick tempo to and from all voicings and of B, Bm & B7 was essential.

Thanks, everyone! Really appreciate the input. manX, I'm playing what I think is the standard version they teach in Fundamentals 1. I am slow getting to it from any chord, or even just going straight to it from the start.
