Fred Soukup Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 What an awesome way to end the week. Looking forward to submitting my video. This Challenge was one lightbulb moment after another. Thank you, @Jonathan for putting this together. The dexterity exercise and the flexibility exercise you showed tonight helped me a lot. The dexterity one really helped me get the ring finger more limber. I am going to go the Unlimited Dexterity course next one my list. Don't know about the teaching thing at this time maybe at a later date, if it becomes available again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Adams Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 I was surprised to see the middle finger used for the second note in the scale pattern instead of the ring finger, but after repeating this pattern over and over it makes sense! Also, I was shocked to find out that my ring finger was out of shape. A few years ago, I saw a Dragon Force video again and thought- how fast can these guys go, how fast can I go? So I made up my own finger exercise where I try to hit/play 255 notes in 20 seconds. Using hammer ons, pull offs. finger tapping, and double picking, basically every trick I could think of to try and pull it off. At first, it was sloppy and I could not do it in 20 seconds, however over time I got it down to 20 seconds. Again, I was shocked to find out that my ring finger was out of shape! I was also very surprised to see the same scale pattern work on minor cords! I could not believe it until I played it with the minor scale backing tracks-wow! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Alou Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Confused about how/why to do submission. You tube submission seems too complicated. Submission via breakthrough-provided method doesn’t provide for musical recording…..only answers to questions. So…..don’t know how to submit.

Bob Alou Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 I attached my own video in a response to "Nikki B" of Breakthrough Guitar. I hope that sufficed. Best I could do. Thanks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike M Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Thank you for an impactful week. I played catch up the first four days and was able to catch Friday’s live class. The ring finger torture exercise made my week! I’ll be using that a lot! I’ve also never put together notes into chord form from a scale. That was big for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 (edited) This is the blues track I was going to submit and then I had a walk-in whilst recording it. In the end I submitted the Moody Rock Ballad as I though it was more of a challenge.
