Playing a chord is one thing, but changing between multiple chords, cleanly and in time, that is quite another. In this series we focus on guitar players who are starting out on their musical journey, offering them insights and techniques into chord playing that will not only allow them to learn and perform thousands of songs, it will also take years off their practice.
