rhythm ok, chord changes slow, overall pleasant

I really enjoyed this challenge, easy pattern to remember I really liked that the 2nd half of each line was a 7th nice touch lots of fun to play
-
Switching from down-up down-up to down-down-up is killing me. I like the down-down up-down but after so many hours reinforcing down-up for 8th notes across 3-note cross picking, I’m struggling. I see people using both methods, but switching will take some practice

Great lesson. I love the sound of this . I struggle with fat fingers but keep plugging along.
-
trying to get my pinky down on that F seventh is tough. maybe one day…

The picking patterns are great. The chord changes are challenging. There are some chords that my fat fingers just don’t seem to be able to do. My middle finger touches three strings at a time. If the string next to it is fretted behind it I just get a dead string. I’ve tried taping the finger and I’ve tried to build a callus on the tip but it’s not working. I’ll keep trying to work around it but dang it’s frustrating. Click the picture next to my name to see what I’m working with.
Still having fun. -
Very Tricky, everything but the kitchen sink, 7ths included. could only keep up with the chord transitions at 0.5X speed, fun though!
-
Had to work on this one a while. Good cross picking exercise.
-
I really like the sound of this one.
-
gotta work on this one my flying and not straight pinky is no help!
-
Oof, this one is super hard for me! I’ll keep chipping away at a slow tempo…
-
Finished until next time….

Truer words could not be spoken.
