Transition Practice

Transition Practice Options

1. Silent Transitions (No Strumming)

Start by practicing the chord changes without any strumming. This allows you to focus entirely on finger positioning and movement without worrying about rhythm.

• Tip: Adjust the tempo as slow as needed to ensure smooth transitions. Starting at 40 bpm is perfectly fine, especially for beginners. Focus on accuracy and ease of movement before gradually increasing the speed.
• Transition to Practice: Em to D6add9

2. Quarter Note Transitions (4 Downstrums)

Once you’re comfortable with silent transitions, add rhythm by playing 4 downstrums per measure (quarter notes). This helps you integrate timing into your practice.

• Practice the same Em to D6add9 transitions with the interactive tabs.
• Let the metronome guide your pace. Start slow (e.g., 40–60 bpm) and focus on keeping your strumming steady and transitions smooth.
