    See, that's not so bad! Try to dig in a little more with your vibrato because there are some nice motifs in there and a nice vibrato would make them sound even better!

    Right, one of my weakest spots, vibrato. I'm glad I started taking part in the challenge cause I guess I'm gonna be getting a good load of help to improve my playing

    I'm sure this challenge is gonna help me master the pentatonic...

    Regardless of what you may believe I'm actually a big fan of playing like this, it fits Soo well over a slow blues!

    As far as feedback goes, try to pay some attention to your Inflections (I really just made a video showcasing the difference it makes) and try to utilize some different notes to land on to add some different flavours to your playing(I know they may sometimes not sound as good but that ok, that's part of the process into finding the notes you like)

    Mastering the pentatonic scale is such a good idea! You can literally use it pretty much everywhere!

    Should we skip today? I'm feeling fresh out of ideas, I'll just try to force one more out and maybe break for a week on the improv. I kind of like doing it, because it involves the lessons daily. I'll post it here cause, yeah
    I got like and hour so should be ok for me

    Tried to do some hybrid picking licks, only did 3 tries. I'm pretty sleepy today, probably wake up in the middle of the night again and sleep in the morning. I couldn't remember the good sounding notes fast enough. I think I need to train my memory. I'll probably do tomorrows improve again, just for myself. I'll still post it.


    I will break for like 1-2 weeks and practice. Hope you don't mind.

    forgot to reupload it

    The lesson from yesterday was very helpful, this morning I was kind of repeating the roll of notes in the first position. I was practicing it wrong for like an hour long, I didn't realize it was economy picking. Thought it was like just go FAST! I was going like 20% on the first lick, after 30 minutes. I stopped and relearned the motions and got it up to I think 40%. I need to do it more often.

    I haven't really done ANY of these, but I had time and interest this afternoon, so I sat down and did the one for 85. As always, I think there's a few really good moments - islands of goodness in the ocean of diarrhea. As always with the bits that are sweepy in nature, I have no idea what the fuck I'm ACTUALLY doing and trying to play a legit sweep has me fumbling over my fingers like a n00b, but hey, I can play to my limited strengths.
