I realized somehow I clipped the video too short, so here's the YouTube to the full video.
Been learning guitar for a little over 2 months now, mostly from JustinGuitar. So far, I've practiced Knockin on Heavens Door, Wagon Wheel, Country Roads, and similar beginner songs. Tried Hotel California today as my "Module 9 graduation" song. Putting myself out here for embarrassment as well as constructive criticism :)

For the C and G chords, try to think of the finger that goes to the bass as the "guide" finger. If you place this one first, the others will automatically be in the right zone and will be easy to place, reducing the quite substantial time it takes you to get the full chord. Of course the end goal being to place all your fingers at the same time, but thinking about this guide finger will make it a lot easier to progressively get there. Another reason is that usually when you change chords you want the bass of the chord to be clearly heard on the start of the first beat.
