Here’s my feeble guitar entry… there’s a reason this one is called “Advanced”! Any tips on getting rid of some of the tension in my picking hand? I guess I feel like I have to anchor firmly since I’m a banjo player.

You may have ignored a few rules Mike. But I enjoyed your arrangement.

Doesn’t look or sound tense to me. That said, if you can get it looser, do so. Looser is better. It sounds like over-simplification, but just make yourself get looser. Before you play loosen from the shoulder (wiggle), elbow (wiggle) and then wrist and fingers (flop). Shave 20 BPM off… is that looser? Then stay there a bit, then creep up the speed and re-evaluate. Great job!

@mharrison43 awesome I wish Ben would allow us to come up with our own arrangements. Your style reminds me of Eric O’Hara.
