Hi Greg

This is something we all come up against.

We know the chords but aren't quick or clean enough for chord changes.

Anders also covers the intro lick for Bad Moon Rising in the Famous Lick section of the  songs section.

He plays it different to Caren , uses electric , but does a few slow play throughs  before he does the fast version.

He uses barre chords but you can follow his version with the simpler D,A and G open chords that Caren uses.

Christopher has given you the way forward .

There are no short cuts but you can keep revisiting the song or the Lick to see how you have progressed in your learning.

I'm only just managing the strum , the rythm and the chord changes DAG myself.

I'm in to my 3rd year and finding progress very slow.

One thing you do find is that most songs that you have listened to have so very much more to them than we first thought.

More layers, more instrumentation and way more difficulty.

The simple 3   chord play along song is a bit of a myth.

I'm 68, learning for fun and just seeing how I go.  

Turns out it's very slowly.  Lots of stuff to get to grips with in this guitar malarkey

Good Luck , progress does come.
