Shared fingers 1, 2 — when you change, don't lift; keep them planted as an anchor (that's the key to smooth changes).

The orange finger 3 is what moves this time — watch the animation take the shortest path.

Chord-change mantra: look first then press, keep shared fingers down, and never stop the right hand. Once it clicks, head up to the "Chord-change timer" above and race the clock.

⏱️ One-minute chord changes

Target 60 / min

Pick two chords and see how many clean back-and-forth changes you can make in 60 seconds (aim for one per second). Write the number down, test again in a few days, and watch it climb.

How to use: watch the two chords above, then switch cleanly back and forth — tap the big button each time you make a clean change. Aim for one per second (60/min). Each time you learn a new chord, pair it with ones you already know and run this drill.
