wow! it' like learning chords all over again for me

[ChrisBrown-oobf]

It's amazing if you break everything back down to its simplest form, the results are so much better. Good stuff. And you're right, it doesn't matter what level you are, you can always do better by going back to the basics.

Thank you I am having problems with changing chords to slow because I feel I have to look. I want to stop looking. Can you do a video on that?

When I first started in 88, learning new chords, and switching them, felt like playing the Twister game but my fingers were the limbs. Nowadays, I still feel like I'm playing Twister but with 13th chord shapes...lol
