I have still been having a lot of trouble in transitioning between chords fluently. When I play each chord individually, they sound like they are supposed to, however, it seems whenever I need to transition -specifically from and to the G-chord- the chords sound clumsy. I find that my fingers are larger than I anticipate and I accidentally touch a string I shouldn’t which makes the strum sound flat and dull. I have been trying to improve this by just practicing specific transitions back and forth that are needed for the song I am working on, Skinny Love by Bon Iver. By isolating the specific transitions and not having to focus on the rhythm or strumming pattern it makes it easier to work on the dexterity needed in switching between chords. I have made a decent amount of improvement of switching from G to F but am still finding it very difficult to get a clear G sound when I am switching from F to G.
