Been working on Fox on the Run (Alt Version) from Casey's custom lesson DVDs. I have the verse part down pretty well except for the two times you go from a three finger D to a hammer on A minor. I know it will just take time and effort. Has anyone else worked on this particular song or chord change, and had some degree of difficulty getting it up to speed?

Put the tune to one side for now and focus all your attention on moving between these two chords. I find it helps to watch TV as I try to train the brain to do this on autopilot. I am guessing every time you come to this chord change you have a train wreck. Our brains need time to process this information, and figure out how best to make the change in good time. If you are focusing on trying to play the whole tune before you have learned to master this chord change then the brain struggles to process the info.
