I’ve been so busy lately so I’m late to the party on this one. I have yet to finish my current self-challenge so I’ll sit this out. I’ll definitely try the exercises in the future!
Good luck to all the participants!

I’m a bit late to the party but I had a go up to level 3 and it’s great fun, I love that backing track. I’ll give it a go but I’m not promising I’ll upload anything 
The fretting too hard thing is interesting, I recently started with a new bass teacher and he wants me to fret harder, not because I’m buzzing but because he thinks it’s affecting my tone, which isn’t something I’ve heard before.
The guy is a proper session musician who’s played with some really famous people though, so I don’t really feel like I can tell him that guys on the internet told me I shouldn’t do that…

Great job from everybody so far! Hope to see you all at today’s live hang at 4:00 PM Eastern Daylight Time. Launch Meeting - Zoom Maybe @JoshFossgreen would like to attend today to tell us “in person” what he wants from us in this challenge? As an almost 50-year-old fanboy hoping to meet my Jedi Master!

Nice, you’re doing so well 
I’m improving, but need work to play levels 4 and 5 consistently.
I think anyway, now having it in my head to think about fret pressure and positioning etc is really useful. I keep doing a mental check.
It’s also feels like a tongue (hand?) twister to keep it gentle with fretting fingers without automatically being too soft with plucking hands.

Haha, sorry I couldn’t make this one! Read this forum post too late, I did. (insert yoda emoji, why is there no yoda emoji?)
Hope y’all are doing okay with this challenge, hit me if you have questions!

I’ve made that face a lot too @BozzerWolf , especially if I’ve struggled for a bit, then as soon as I’m doing well the backing music loop finishes

I don’t believe you @saroohoo , you seem so calm and relaxed in your video
This challenge is really fun, and the exercises are great. I will keep it in my training routine, and maybe not in two weeks but in two years I’ll master level 5.

Well in my before video I tried to just keep the bits where I actually managed to play the notes, to compare the technique better … but you’re not seeing the complete **** either side of the snippets!
Believe me, screwfaces have been made 
. I should probably keep in more of the messing up beforehand to get a truer sense of my progress, I was managing to be way more consistent today.
