Hi Tomo-sensei. I watched E shuffle blues video and I tried this. I am wondering if you could give me some advice.
In this video I am using Funk master pickup strut, MMBA and Franz metronome.
Thank you for your teaching to us.

Love the count-in, body movement, and singing, Eiji! Keep working on that triplet feel and palm muting.
I know Tomo demonstrates slight variations in how he picks and palm-mutes. It is hard to explain in words, but look closely at how Tomo moves his right hand - it's a little bit softer, like a tap than a slap.
I believe this is the lesson you are referring to: https://tomovhxtv.vhx.tv/videos/tf-lesson-055-1-e-blues-shuffle-groove
Correct me if I am wrong! Just want to share what lesson it was so others can take a look if they'd like :)
Thank you Sammi for your support.

Eiji I really like watching your videos. It shows the progression from getting the idea and big motions correct, then smoothing it out with input and guidance from Tomo. Indirectly a confidence builder for everyone else. Thanks!

Thank you for showing us a new challenge, Eiji!
Your left-hand fingering is very smooth and soft.
The metronome sound is wonderful!
I'd like to watch the video Saｍmi introduced.
Thank you!
Thank you Tadashi. I need to work on more for first string mute. Noise is ringing. I didn't notice when I am playing.

Good job Eiji! Grooving shuffle blues! This one is pretty hard to master it! Your body movement is getting better and better. Relax your middle triplet note. Maybe a little softer. It's hard to explain this by words. I practice this much slower without a metronome. Your singing part was good!
Keep going!
Tomo
Thank you Tomo-sensei. I exaggerate too much the middle triplet. I will focus on soft muting. Thank you for your advice.

Also I watched this youtube video. In this video Tomo-sensei teaches us like private lesson.
Eiji
Thank you Eiji for watching this lesson. Yes. I did a lot of details in this lesson video. Funny part is it is FREE so not so many people really paid a lot of attention! Thanks so much! PS, Did you watch my new funk guitar lesson video with new Gretsch guitar?
Tomo
Yes I did watched the funk lesson. That was also just like
tape lesson. Very useful indeed.

I was going to try the Hideaway challenge but thought it was better to try this first. Thanks Eiji for the inspiration and extra videos.
I find that it's much harder than I expected and as soon as I try to add anything (singing, fills, turnaround etc) my rhythm goes way off, so I've been keeping it as simple as possible. Here's where I am now:

Great job Jonathan! Sounds so good! Maybe you should practice slighly slower so that you can control more details. I love that guitar too!
I was practice just like you did... today. But it was much slower tempo.
(Your tempo is around 90 BPM and it is great for performance. Practice tempo should be 55-60 BMP so that you can mute the middle triplet so clearly.
