That’s some highly impressive progress for the time you’ve been playing Beau, really good palm muting and playing Basket Case at full tempo is no mean feat.

@jkahn Thanks for the feedback! Yeah, there are a couple parts where the movements while standing still aren’t as ingrained as my seated playing and it causes me to drag a little bit. I’ll keep working on it!
@Notter Thanks for checking it out. It’s definitely at the upper limits of my downpicking speed right now, and it gets pretty fatiguing trying to get a good take and having to start all over with the intro many times! Certainly some of my flubs on that recording are just fatigue from playing it again and again!
I thought to myself at one point “Ok, warm up for a few minutes and then hit record!” only to play my best take without audio or video being recorded. Doh! I’ll have to record my warmup attempts from now on

That is really impressive progress for 3 months only, especially rhythm and how relaxed your strumming hand is. Well done! How much do you practice daily approx?

Thanks Boris. It varies. Some days it might just be 30 minutes to get my “daily” done, but if I have a stretch of free time I might sit down for 2-3 hours before I even realize the time has passed. I don’t really have a set schedule for it aside from trying to make sure I play SOMETHING every day, be it songs or specific practice on scales/chords/etc.
Throughout Grade 1&2 I was very specific about doing whatever Justin had prescribed. Now that I’m in consolidation it has been mostly songs.
