Nice job on beat and tone is really good too, well done.

The video is out of sync - tune in to the upcoming class to fix that!

(insert shameless plug here)

Here is my attempt of “Hound Dog”, was more fun than I thought it would be when I first looked over the list. The king is gone but he is not forgotten

Definitely a few flubs and I am reminded again to work on technique exercises for my pinky but I really don’t like this song so I’m moving on…

Pretty darn nice job @doylecb
You kept a great groove for the most part.
Couple blips and blips but overall very very good.
The final run was a bit off but those things are tricky and require a lot of repetitions to get nailed down in the beginning. It’s totally cool to keep moving ahead.
Make a not for yourself, come back to this song in 2-3 months and I bet you’ll notice the “hard parts” aren’t hard anymore.
Keep up the great work, already see great progress.

Thanks John! That’s great advice to come back to things. I definitely see the benefits of playing even the songs I don’t like as a learning experience so honestly it’s not like I thought any of this was hard I just probably didn’t put in enough time. The time between videos doesn’t necessarily reflect how much time I am practicing the songs it’s just that sometimes life gets in the way but I am definitely planning on moving through all 50! Definitely appreciate you’re always the first one with constructive criticism.

Not perfect by any means but still fun. Was challenging due to the finger stretching! I know, Microshifting for the win! I tried shifting and found that even more difficult. It was also a workout for my left thumb. Lots of behind-the-neck movement. Thank gods for the matt finish.
I can do better, and will try again some time but this is it for now. Next, More Animals (besides hounds)
