It would take me a lot more than 3 minutes to write the explanation.
move your fingers
The one thing I would add is that anyone who has difficulty doing that is unlikely to be able to play right hand down up down up in the perfect timing that you are able. So maybe they will struggle with that rather than the lifting fingers and putting them back down in the same spot.
And good on you for sharing a simple nugget, but one piece of friendly advice smile more
But the person above who said “what’s the summary?” Is spot on. No way of knowing what you are opening up from just a screen shot, and there are so many dodgy / crap / hour long etc videos out there, that we might miss out your nuggets of wisdom
keep it up
You also finger an A chord in a way I would never use - 2nd finger above the first.... but then again if you are going to an A major 7 after the A major triad it would work. Like most players I invariably play an A chord barring across the D, G, and B strings with first finger.
good luck with the site @Old_Swanner , I like what you are doing there
"You also finger an A chord in a way I would never use - 2nd finger above the first"
I always teach it that way to beginners these days; it's way better for bigger fingers (many physically cannot play the 1,2,3 fingering cleanly) plus the real kicker is that when changing from A to E it's much more efficient - no large elbow movement needed and the fingers barely have to move by comparison!
You'd be amazed at how many people out there can't play guitar standing up.
I'm not kidding.
I’ve been able to get unfamiliar chord shapes reliably under my fingers in about 15 mins doing this.
1) Strum ... check every string sounds correctly (including mutes if applicable)
2) Relax ... release the pressure but keep the chord shape lightly in contact with the strings.
3) Lift ... 1mm to start (then 2 then 3 etc. as it gets easier)
4) Touch ... return to the relaxed position
Repeat, ensuring the chord still sounds perfectly when strumming. If it doesn't then work out why, go slower and correct.
