A collection of exercises to help beginners who are yet to get comfortable with changing chords smoothly. Every guitarist goes through this struggle in the beginning. Sometimes even intermediate level players struggle with this, particularly if they are switching between unfamiliar chords outside of their vocabularty. With a structured practice method such as this, one can easily overcome this hurdle.
This collection contains 3 exercises. You must practice them with different chords and chord combinations, which are added as variations. For example: Exercise #1 has chords C, Am, G etc. as variations. The same exercise must be practice for each of those chords.
You may find the choice of chords rather peculiar. They are selected based on two criteria: (1) position of your thumb on the back of the fretboard (2) position/rotation of the wrist. This set of chords try to cover all possible combinations of those two criteria. Don't worry about names of some of the chords (for now). If you don't know how to play a certain chord, select it from the variations dropdown and switch to learning mode for the chord chart.
If you are want to add your own variations, that's possible too. I will soon add documentation for this. Although note that, the app currently lacks good support for user made changes to collections imported from the library. This will also be addressed soon.
