Rock in A minor (basic version) — chord change
Like its syncopated rhythm version already in the catalogue, this grid (Am, Dm, G, C) is played entirely in open position, with no barre at all: the difficulty of the chord change here is therefore purely a matter of finger sequencing, never complicated by a barre to hold or release.
Tips
Play each chord for several beats before moving to the next, and only speed up once the sequence is clean.
Spot the fingers that stay on the same string from one chord to the next: they don't need to lift off completely.
Once this grid is smooth, the catalogue's syncopated rhythm version will only add a timing difficulty, not a new left-hand one.
