Hi dwsj54,

Believe me, you are not alone in this particular frustration! 

• TRY THIS:


• make a list of the chord changes that are giving you trouble. "C to G", for example.


• Treat each item on the list as a mini study-project. Go from C to G SLOWLY over and over. Notice how each of your fingers move. Is there any extraneous movement going on - anything your fingers are doing that is actually unnecessary? if so, make a note of that and watch for it as you practice this chord-pair. You want the movements to be as streamlined as possible. 


• Do not worry about getting it up to speed until you are able to do it accurately at a slow speed. Then, slowly increase the tempo - and stick with each increased tempo for a while, for more repetitive practice.


• This process of mindful slow repetition is how you build PHYSICAL MEMORY, which is what will show up when your hands know how to go from C to G (or whatever chord-pairs are giving you trouble) BY HEART. 

Hope this helps a little!
Have fun  - Lisa
