Thanks Dominique, I guessed that was the case and I’ve now managed to break the habit by slowing myself down and watching my fingers
Cheers

Hi
I had a go at match my sound course. I find functionality promising. Firstly the boom lesson was massive fun for a blues fan like me. I just started to learn singing and playing so mostly I’m just playing when around people. Arrangements like that allow to keep listeners interested while mouths are shut.
It took a good while to be able to pass 90% score.
The program strictly rates my playing both pitch and rhythm. I found very useful to see the signal wave falling under the tabbed melody.
I use guitar-focusrite Scarlett-iPad (Safari) chain and match my sound is able to hear me playing mostly after some tweaking. It is disappointing for me to not hear guitar input through (cause any daw must be off for the program to work in my case). It is a so so option for electric guitar. It should not matter much for acoustic since you hear a good acoustic sound from the guitar.
The bottom line is interesting functionality along another amazingly fun blues course. I intend to follow as I love Justin’s blues lessons.
I would love to see more recordings of community getting in and vibing with boom licks and more!
Take care all

Day number 2 and still trying to pass haha
Great little piece. I find it a very interesting exercise along with the steady thumb primer.
I’ve yet to go to the final one.
Oh and the MatchMySound integration is great too! It’s one of the reasons I decided to create an account here after watching your channel for some time now. Thanks a lot for making this bit free and, as far as I’m concerned keep getting these blues shuffles. They’re fun and make one(me) pick the guitar up

Same behaviour for me as well inside a mobile browser; I guess it’s a bug.
However there’s an option to switch from “scrolling” to pages and this mode works.

This lesson is great. Been working with it for a few days. It sounds amazing played on an electric with some overdrive (if, like me, you’re more motivated by electric blues sounds).
I initially had some trouble getting MatchMySound to use my DAW (a Fender Mustang GTX 100 amp USB in to my Mac) but making sure to use it as my sound input at the OS level, and then giving my browser (Chrome) permission to use the system microphone, as well as justinguitar.com permission to use the mic specifically within Chrome, fixed it.
Another note on this lesson: around 12:18 in the video, Justin says something about how this is “nothing special, just the minor pentatonic” which puzzled me for a moment because it’s not the “1st pattern” shape that he’s taught up until this point if you’re following his grade levels. The notes in this section are actually from the E shape of CAGED or what some people call the “BB Box” for BB King.
I searched and we don’t really learn this until later in Grade 4 when he gets into Blues Lead, and he calls it “minor pentatonic pattern 2.”
Correct Jeff. Here it is with the notes from the lick at 12:18 boxed:
However, this isn’t the “BB Box”. It’s the same shape as the BB Box, but some of the notes are different and the root note is in a different place. That’s because the BB Box contains notes from the major and minor pentatonic scales. The small section of pattern 2 shown in the box is sometimes called the “house of blues”. Rotated 90 degrees it looks a bit like a house.
Just a thought given recent discussions but does this MatchMySound utilise AI to monitor your performance ?

No it uses sound recognition. More like a tuner.
But it checks your timing as well
So does a timing light doesn’t make it ai. It doesn’t tell you how to fix you sound or timing. Or what you did wrong it just give you a graph. Far from being intelligent.
Does it matter how it does it?
