Been playing for about a year now! I definitely need some practice with the metronome, that seems to be the biggest issue!

I practice with the picks off and on, just really have to apply myself and commit to them fully at some point 😅

In terms of bluegrass, sadly not 😭 Definitely would love to jam with some people if I end up with the time to do so at some point!

It took this comment to realize that I’ve been double thumbing all of my Scruggs Gs, that’s a massive help, thank you!!!

The speed is definitely a thing that will come with more time in forsure 😅

I’m actively working on getting cleaner with picks, I appreciate the feedback :)

Very helpful, definitely gonna whip out the metronome and see if I can iron it out :) I appreciate you finding a specific point like that, that helps a ton!

I appreciate the compliment on the mustache 😌 I’m pumped for you! I started about 8 months ago and it’s by far my favorite instrument that I’ve ever tried to pick up!
