          Love what you did in part B, Paddy. You followed the chords pretty expertly. That should be a big part of practice in 2026, I know it will be for me.

              This is what it’s all about. Creativity within the framework. You are using your ear really well in the part B video. The challenge to yourself of playing each of the changes in one area of the neck is the best challenge any of us could impose on ourselves. Super good stuff. I like to play licks that I know in all the positions as well. So good. Well done.

              Go slow and practice correct technique, and your abilities will dramatically improve.

                  Very nice playing, Paddy. Theory applied in a musical, enjoyable way.

                    You knocked it out of the park with this one Paddyboy. I like to focus on specific areas of the neck also…it helps me learn the patterns.
