Mike, this lesson has taught me something very valuable.
I have no idea how long it would have taken me to focus on my right hand – I certainly never considered it an area that needed improvement. Like you indicate, I thought that all of my problems were in my fretting hand. Then, I listened to my picking hand only. Even in songs that I thought sounded pretty good – the picking hand alone showed where all my weaknesses really were. The great part is – I can now work to improve it – measure by measure, song by song. For me, this is not just on songs that I struggle with. I run them all through this metric. I am discovering quite a few weaknesses. But, my muscle memory is improved and my practices are a lot more efficient. And the fixes are relatively quick and painless. A little work, yes. But no more going down a rabbit hole masking over problems.
Thanks so much Mike for teaching this!!!
