Question for folks using this one regularly

[MikeS]

I've jumped into PSTM at least 3 times only to be stopped dead by the "Warm Ups" around lesson 12 or 13.
Are you all getting past those lessons or are you going as far as you can with the warm ups then jumping into other lessons?

Honestly, I do the spider exercise all 3 times. Then I start at the headstock and do each of the boxes, then I go to each exercise once, not in each speed and feel, usually I get through the entire book in 20 minutes, then move on to other lessons

They're warm up exercises, not the main focus of the course.

Of Ex. 10-15 using all finger combinations, Ex 12 with the 1st finger and pinky is the one I really suck at.

It's something to work on, but not something to dwell on til you perfect it.

I still can't do the first warm up, Ex 3.

If I'd waited til I could I'd of never gotten to the rest of the course.

I'm currently working all the exercises in all the boxes at 90 BPM.

I haven't done the warm up exercises in years.

If you're up to Ex 12, there's only 3 more combinations to go and you're done.

Might be time to skip some (or all) of the warm up and move on to the main course.

Thanks Guys. I'll stop focusing so much on the exercises and move on.

Dont do what I did and get so caught up doing the lessons until they are perfect, I found it held me back, when I went back to doing some licks and learning solos, then back to the book, I moved quicker
