We discussed clean chords and how to play chords that only last for half of a measure.

Hello Ruby,

Could you do another video post on the Facebook Group of you playing through a few progressions? And maybe put the camera closer to your hand so I can see clearly what you are doing. I will be able to give you clearer direction on your problem areas.
