Hey, also quite new here since 4 weeks playing the guitar. I also stuggle with going from A minor to E minor and back. Especially the index finger which causes soundproblem when placed on the 5th string 2nd fret. Because it's placed further DOWN the neck you have to press really hard. And then still the sound buzzes sometimes.

So I looked up on here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kV_EABwevy4

Pivotpoint is still the middlefinger here.But instead of putting the index on the 5th string 2nd fret, you put the ringfinger here.

This technique makes a good note while not having to press so hard.

Then going from Aminor to Eminor is still easy and no buzz because now the placement on the 5th string is now futher UP the neck.

I only wonder if this may or may not cause trouble as we go further in the lessons. Why did mrs. McCormick not mention that there is also another way of placing fingers?
