Nice work Socio. You are definitely making good progress here. Honestly, I think you’re ready to play with the big kids now.
I’m wondering if I’d still consider you to be a Kindergarten player, because you’re checking a lot of boxes already:
- Solid 12 bar blues
- Shuffle rhythm
- In time chord changes
- Minor pentatonic melody
- Integration of arpeggio / chord tones
- String bends in tune
- Fingerstyle playing
- Thumb muting the E-string
That’s a lot already! My suggestion for the next step would be to change the 12 bar blues progression (quick changes, slow changes, climb-ups, turnarounds, …) and see if you can create an interesting melody over the different chords. Good luck!
