Hi,
I'm Patrick from Canada. I've been working on the triads lesson, chromatic scale exercice as well as the R37 Bb swing groove. Here is an unlisted youtube video of me playing Bb swing groove at 40 bpm on the 2&4. I'm looking for any insights as to what to work on to improve my technique and sound. Many thanks!
Hello Northern Neighbor!
This is Kurt down in Seattle. That was excellent! I usually mess up something before I get thru it twice. Tomo will see something to work on, but I sure didn't see anything wrong. Sounded really nice. Love your guitar! Thanks for inspiring us to keep going Patrick!

Hi Patrick,
Thanks so much for sharing your video here.
Good job! Your time feel is good.
1) Hold your pick a little bit softer
2) Sustain that down beat a bit longer
3) Make sure your upstroke tighter
How long have you been practicing your R 3 7 swing groove?
Thank you.
Tomo
Hi, Thank you very much for your reply and advice. I’ll work on those éléments. I’ve been practicing this swing Groove for 2 weeks. I try to do it everyday with the 1212321etc chromatic exercise as a warm up.
Thanks again.
