I’m into my 3rd year playing and your tip on -hand/palm rotation or angle placement I never thought of, this kind of advice can only come from experienced guitar instructor like yourself. So thank you James for sharing this valuable tip. BTW I’m still struggling to get the F CHORD to ring consistently clearly, every once in a while I’ll pick it clean but man it’s tiring on my fingers and wrist, I think you have video on this topic I’ll need to revisit again. Thank you James for all you teach us about this amazing instrument .

When i began to learn, i found the switch from Am to C the easiest. Switches to D and Dm were much more difficult.
The switch to G with the ring finger was a cool thing then. Training and motivation are so important
