How to practice it most effectively: Review the chord shapes on your guitar using your chord sheet, try playing each 3 times before moving on to the next chord, take your hand off the guitar between each to give yourself another chance to recall/remember the shape. Use a metronome – try 60 beats per minute and work your way up to faster tempos. Wait for the last click before the chord change to make the switch.

Have a good week everyone!
