minimize screeching when changing chords

how do you minimize the screeching sound made by the fingers when changing chords?

Hi,

I've answered this one before. Basically, the best way to stop the screeching sound is to dis-engage from the strings. That is, you should lift your fingers up from the strings (only as much as need be) and move to the new position.

Additionally, some string makers are producing strings with a coating on them that helps somewhat to reduce string noise. Also, there's a product which helps your fingers to move more easily, produce less string noise and protect the strings. I actually use it myself and find it works well. It's called Tone Finger Ease

I hope this has been of help.

Kind regards,
Trevor M.
