Hey Dave, I am having this issue myself. I'm also in the Fundamentals 1 section. I have just been practising 30 minutes a day three times daily and working through the lessons slowly. I spent three days on D and A chords before I finally figured it out. Some of the other chord changes have been slightly easier. I have been on Fundamentals 1 for 3 weeks now :D. I don't know what I was thinking when I signed up, I guess I just thought it would be faster than the rate I'm going but I'm still making ok progress. 

I try to hold my guitar straight and land my fingertips straight on the strings instead of slanted. I have been tempted a few times to tilt the guitar, so I could see the strings, but I was told not to do that, by another instructor. Some chords I can change right on time with Anders and others I'm several seconds behind him. The only thing I know to tell you is to keep working at it. If you need to spend extra time on some of the lessons before they sink in don't be afraid to do that. Keep at it, eventually, you will nail it.

One thing I did that helped me a lot is I took some black electrical tape and cut small pieces out to paste them on the side of the neck to mark all the frets, so I could see where the frets were. That might help you if you want to give it a try. 

Best of luck,

Christie
