No, it’s not too much. I love that! I was just trying to keep this arrangement fairly simple.

Hahahaha! Dude I’m laughing so hard! And one reason is because they resemble my outtakes so much! Great job.

@Severin, Nice picking! That was an awesome compilation of bloopers! The editing & special effects were fantastic! It’s all part of the process, I think everyone can relate to the faces, the noises, the sometimes frustration, and the - “Ok, one more time…” that this video portrays so very well :grin::rofl::woozy_face::crazy_face::+1:t2::blush: Thank you for posting, definitely enjoyed that!

Well on your way!
If I might make one suggestion…slow it back down some and concentrate on finishing/playing all the notes your rolls.

After two years of navigating through the lessons of the beginner track I reach this lesson and it’s an ‘End of Level Boss!’

I can see exactly what’s going on here and I cant wait to get it under my belt and progress further and get on to the Intermediate track. Its just what I needed to help explore the fretboard for playing more in depth banjo backup with my pals. Ben you have a great way of ordering the lessons so they follow on so well. Many thanks
