This chord progression hack is simple as pie! This works particularly well when I get to show people how to play In The Aeroplane Over The Sea (Neutral Milk Hotel).
There are two ways of playing an E Minor chord. The most common way of playing an E Minor involves the middle and ring fingers on the second fret of the A and D strings. In many cases this makes sense, but the movement can be cumbersome moving from an E Minor to a C. Since this is fairly common beginning chord progression, E Minor to C Major, why not work it so that there is one finger similar between both? This is actually pretty easy: Keep your middle finger on the second fret of the D string the entire time, and use your first finger for the rest of the E Minor. Voila! Moving between these chords is now far more approachable.
Common fingers are totally the move.
