I remember Fast Walking Blues being fine the first time through, but I always messed it up the second time around. Looks like you've already got some pinky strength too.
I usually mess things up the first time thru, as I did today. I only started Fast Walking Blues on Friday evening but I had been practising the alternate picking exercises in
Terrifying Technique for Guitar and had also worked on a walking bass exercise in
Rock Guitar for Dummies so it wasn't that much of a shock to combine the two techniques.
I am a keyboard player so pinky is used to doing some of the work. I usually spend 20 minutes a day on keyboard exercises; Czerny's
School of Velocityand Jordan Rudess
Total Keyboard Wizardry been the instruments of torture.
It's only four weeks since I started
Beginning Blues Guitar and it's only in the last few days that I've started to feel comfortable playing the guitar; I'm probably developing a technique for guitar playing.
Anyway, thanks for the positive feedback, it does help motivation as I'm having to make time for practice just at the moment [smiley=beer.gif]
