Hey i practiced all the exercises and understand the concept of them. I am trying to understand how it comes natural to me.
Great! Natural talent will take you a long way; with guided practice and opportunities to play it’ll go even farther! Good job, Adam!
Hey i learned a new riff, it was probably the hardest one i have done yet. It requires that i drop the E to a D though. I think i learned pretty well for playing it in one day. ha ha ha
