Today's lessons centred around chord changes. There's no magic here; the secret is just with slow and consistent repetitions. Once I became comfortable with making good transitions, I started to increase the strumming embellishments (see previous lesson on strumming) and the tempo and slowed down when I started to falter.

Unlike the past, today I altered the angle of my camera so that I could better view that which I was working towards; in this case, my chord transitions. Hopefully I'll be able to observe what I was doing well and what needs improving.
There's another affordance of recording my playing--I can play back with myself thereby even better increasing my consistency.
