Hi Bernth, The dropbox seems to be wrong; the current link contains files for lessons that you did in the future from this video? :)

Hey Bernth, I was just wondering: At Lick #2, wouldn't it be more economic to play a downstroke when transitioning to the next string? Or is it just for training purpose in this example?

This is exactly what I needed in terms of just challenging enough. I feel like I am capable of approach these but they aren't too easy at all. Just right. Goldilocks licks.

I am REALLY struggling with the first 2 exercises at 100bpms and 90bpms respectively. Specifically the 2nd exercise. I'm trying to break my bad habit of my out of control tremolo picking. Yes. I can play "lightning speed" but I'm super sloppy and hit couple of notes twice or just straight up missing them. I'm also struggling keeping my ring & pinky finger closer to the neck.

So did I!. Funny enough that lick was one of the first licks I ever learned by ear, actually quite early in my guitar journey. It was almost natural!
