4-22 CCS #2 – Minimum Movement
.
- DESCRIPTION
Efficiency is key when playing chords and licks. By that I mean having minimum movement with your fretting hand.
For example: instead of taking your hand completely off of the fretboard to change chords, keeping it rooted using “pivot fingers”. It doesn’t work with every chord change. But I’ll show you a couple where it does.
You’ll find that this principle will be used throughout your guitar playing journey.

I picked up my guitar in the dark once……played a song that I knew well. Realized that all the time spent on chord changing techniques pay off big time down the line. These lessons are important and do make a big difference when it comes to learning songs.
Tomas – I seem to remember the CAdd9 having the 4th finger on the 1st string 3rd fret. Which version of the CAdd9 do you recommend?
Hi Greg. It’s a slight difference in sound. I use both equally. Try both and see if you can tell the difference in sound. Do you have a preference? Sometimes I’ll choose one or the other depending on the other chords and how it sounds. With the pinky down it’s a little fuller and you hear that higher note ring. But sometimes it’s better if it doesn’t stick out too much.
This lesson is a very helpful and important view point of changing chords more easier. Wow!
