A Universe of Sorts

I find it very hard to switch chords, since I feel "afraid" of playing the wrong chord.
I feel like this manifests in different ways: I am relunctant to write documents which I fear maybe incorrect, and yet would be valuable to write up. I feel relunctant to compete in competitions for fear of not knowing the "right answer".
Regardless, it's very interesting how when playing the guitar, people (and you) literally don't notice!
As long as you keep the rhythm up, it "sounds fine".
So, if there's a hard chord change to be done, stagger it! play two beats with all strings open. Then hold down a single finger for a beat. Then another finger for the next beat. And so on, till perhaps at the final beat, we make the "complete/correct" chord.
It's interesting, since it adds a sort of design challenge: what is the best sequence of strings to play to "musically" approach a given chord starting from open strings? Different choices of fingers have surprisingly different sounds!
It's also very relieving to be able to simply.. play, experiment with leaving strings one-by-one, pressing strings one by one, without worrying about getting it right, as long as I allow the rhythm-beat to march forward :)
This lends itself particularly well to the style where we mute the guitar every even beat (1 MUTE 2 MUTE) to create a percurssive effect. It allows one to hear the chord being "layered" up, finger by finger.
It also mutes the "open string" sound by the time we get the first finger on, so it helps create
TL;DR: strumming hand >>> chord hand . Focus on the strumming! It's okay to screw up on chords :)
