Robert, I gotta say, you're deliberate and really break it down, but somehow avoid turning it into a yawner. Basic, with just enough fluff to make it interesting and fun.
Excellent instruction. keep it up!
What I'm realizing is that I need right hand work. Flatpick technique is important as well. Sometimes the quick up/down(as opposed to down/down) on the same string or two adjacent strings is key to a riff.
This is a skill bluegrass and mando players develop early. I'm realizing I did not.
What do you suggest? Practicing scales by alternating?
