Thank You Tomo. I will fix it next time! You are very detail-oriented. I am thankful for that. I see deep sense of this approach.
You're very welcome Bart! You are doing so great! In order to play well is not just memorize parts or just practicing hours.... slowly to hear each things deeper so you can fix something each time so your playing will get someting better and smooth next time!
Tomo
This is my another attempt. very soft picking. I hope it is clear now.
Thank you for sharing your video! Super clean and super slow! Excellent job! I love your clean tone! Nice and soft picking!
Tomo
Thank You Tomo! It took me 6 weeks to play like that, but I've been playing guitar for 20 years so I am patient to improve my technic and sound.
I have a question now, what should I practice next? Should I still play this theme? Maybe it's time for some accompaniment? Or try this with metronome?
Bart
You're very welcome! Good this can take some time. Most people watch YouTube and learn, imitate things super fast so no matter how many hours they put... basic playing skill will stay at same level.
There are many things you can learn. Did you work on chords? R 3 7 Swing Groove. Strumming or finger picking. Soloing around Blue Monk. There is Bb Blues etude. You can play a slighly faster on this melody.
With a metronome.
1) Metronome at 60 per beat.
2) Metronome at 70 per beat
3) Metoronome at 40 2&4)

Hey Bart- in addition to Tomo's suggestion, there is an entire playlist of Blue Monk videos that Sammi created - it has a live stream, and a ton of content from Eiji's Blue Monk challenge thread.
Tons of details on playing rhythm, melody, and solo etude. Tomo also introduces 2 new versions of the melody and etude:

Thank you Clay for sharing this special playlist!

Thank You Clay and Tomo, I will take R37.
Thanks, Clay, for sharing that link! Knew it would come in handy :)
Bart - great work on this. Especially after 20 years of playing, I can imagine this approach feels refreshing. Enjoy your next study!
