how do professional guitasists avoid the squeaking sound that during chord changes?

Answer 1

1. They have at least a decent level of skill so they effectively change chords without producing unwanted sounds, i.e. they don’t unnecessarily touch and slide over the strings.
2. Studio magic. You can filter noises out with noise gates, you can remove sounds in post-production.
3. Sometimes they don’t avoid the squeaks. If you pay attention to recordings, you might sometimes catch them.
