Now that we have the basic melody down, it’s time to ask Uncle Joe to put on his dancing shoes! This is a fun one to get that alternating picking action in gear!

I like that Ben. I still remember and use snippets of the advanced version. That was a super tasty version, but I don’t think I ever got the whole thing worked up to the speed I’d have wanted. This version looks like a great level. Not quite as spicy, but still tasty. AND one could fly on this one if it got kicked off at high speed.

One other note, if one was inclined, they could grab the ending from the advanced version. It seems like it would fit great with this version as well.

Ouch! The click on these backing tracks is really quite painful in my head @BanjoBen

Nice lesson Ben that’s build a break friendly. Once you learn it can take it lot of different directions.

Great lesson for alternate picking speed. It’s a work out @ 200 bpm!

Yep, blank space after the end of the break in the “Slow” video segment. Looks like it doesn’t leave out any of the lesson, though – just extra blank video accidentally included.
