Thanks for the listen and feedback Toby. This was the precursor to the solo blues course. I’ve just purchased that course this week. Looking forward to starting it as I found it to be great fun playing this one. Never thought I’d get into the blues until I started Justin’s beginners course, now it’s a genre I’m enjoying exploring further.

Thanks for the listen and feedback Mari. It’s much appreciated. I’ve been practicing with the metronome at the slow tempo and along with the Justin’s slow tempo recording on the CD and was finding it on locking in on the beats. However, when I’m playing without the metronome and unaccompanied I’m struggling with keeping the foot tapping to maintain my inner metronome during the transitions with the triplets. So the metronome is back out to work and I have went back to basics to try and overcome that issue. I’m thinking I might also just listen a few times to Justin’s track tapping along with my foot.

Thanks for the listen and feedback, LB. Yes, there is definitely a bit of hesitation especially when it comes to the triplets. I found it difficult in two fronts. I found the pressure to be greater recording that type of playing compared to a strumming song with the occasional individual note picking. I also found it difficult to maintain my inner metronome between the shuffle riffs and triplets. I’m definitely going to practice this more with a metronome until it becomes automatic and smoother. The good thing is that I don’t have to worry about what notes to play as I’ve got it memorized, I just need focus and work on the rhythm. The plan is to work on getting the slow version nailed before speeding up to achieve the fast version.
