TECHNIQUE 125: Chord Changing - Lifting & Landing Together

The appeared as Technique 3, but I keep noticing the need and few folk seem to be focussing on it.

As a recent beginner working on forming and moving chords, you start by landing with your strongest fingers first.

Even doing this and getting all the voices of a chord to sound takes months of graft.

This method of moving gradually from one to another remains a valuable method for certain changes (e.g. where the voices need to overlap e.g. where there I a common note which stays on while the others move) but now you also have to become confident jumping between your basic chords with the fingers landing in unison.

Once you feel the fingers starting to obey this exercise, it is time to test it using a metronome.

Jump between two chords every 4 beats with at little gap as possible. Start by simply landing on the first chord without even a pick, just hammer down on all fingers, then jump after 4 and do the same.
