  so many things to work on! I landed on some 251 patterns, since i’ve never really studied any on guitar. I found a few licks to learn and threw in a few arpeggios/chord voicings as well. Backing track seems a little hot to me, i guess i struggle with recording too! 😅
  
  thanks for listening!

  Excellent navigation of those arpeggios. Well played.
  
  Root note patterns >>> CAGED shapes >>> TRIAD'S. Just put in the work and watch your guitar skills soar.

  Arpeggios/chords sound great, Alan. No struggles here. Is that your own improvisation? Awesome.

    I got the licks from this site:
    https://www.jazzguitar.be/blog/ii-v-i-jazz-guitar-licks/
    
    And “improvised” the voicings- just not in real time! I worked those out before hand

  Really smooth playing across the fretboard, Alan. A cool vibe you worked into that backtrack.

  That’s some fine Jazz, Alan. That is very smooth playing and I don’t detect any struggles. Thanks for sharing the source of your licks, I may check it out later.
