Thanks for the heads up Mike!! Believe me I've thoght about moving on several times but the stubborn side of me keeps pluggin away searching for the magic bullet. You're probably right though....a rest is as good as a change. My course arrived yesterday so I'll give it a month or so and monitor progress. Thanks.
You got it my friend!! keep working on it. It's been a couple of years since I did this course and it has helped my free jamming immensely. I have also been able to invent some riffs based on what I have learned. I need to get back and refresh and ramp up the speed with the metronome. I began working and going from triplets to 1/16th notes and then back to triplets cuz I'm certain that Joe Bonamassa does this all the time........... but then I got a little lost......... gotta keep on work'n it!Just started PSTM and all I can say is it's a good job I am retired and have lots of time ! By the time I have done warm ups then had a drink and let the feeling get back to my fingers it's on to the next challenge somewhere in BGU. The only thing that keeps me plugging away is the belief that it is something [glow=yellow,2,300]I need to do if I want to progress in a sound manner and not get bad habits.[/glow] I just have a feeling that in some cases I may benefit from a tutor as well to get over some issues a bit quicker. I just have a feeling some times that it may be something simple in say arm/wrist position that makes it difficult and instead of trying to figure it out for half an hour or more someone sat in front of me who knows what they are doing would spot it straight away.
