ok, so my lesson went really well. The instructor was surprised at how much I had learned on my own. Mostly he just gave me some riffs to work on over the next week to help build speed and dexterity.
One thing he commented on was that I didn't "tap my foot" while playing. While playing alone, I find that very difficult because my foot wants to tap to the rhythm rather than the tempo. Any suggestions? | |
