1. Using the thumb on the back of the neck and pivoting the hand in a
plane parallel with the plane of the keyboard to "absorb" differences in
the reach of the fingers when pressing on different sides of the
keyboard,
2. keeping one finger on the keyboard as a reference/pivot point during
changes from one chord to another.
3. Stretching the reach of your fingers over at least four or five frets
4. practice
5. practice...
I look forward to some jam sessions to break in your new guitar...
