Edit: I think you are getting it some of the time and sometimes are late. It's hard at this tempo. Edit again: I think you are getting right... I can tap my hand to tempo, now I think you are getting it right. As I said in the previous post, this one is hard for me.

Re#18, I had kind of tried to do it without the ghost notes as well. It's a persistent habit for me at all tempos, but I probably NEED it for that tempo . I almost think it's needed for the LISTENER at that tempo as well.

These ones where harder than I thought. 120bpm

Let me know of typos please.

Also, we probably need to begin thinking about a would-be schedule for May.
I was thinking something like:
May 5: 24-26
May 12: 27-28
May 19: 29-32
May 26: 33-36
I'm fine with 5 in a week rather than 3+2 over 2 weeks, but I get the feeling that most probably don't want to go faster. #28 presents specific technical challenges. #27 is a faster ascending-only pattern, kind of distinguishing itself from the previous 3.
The rest of the month divides well into 4 cycles-per-unique-pattern, but leaves #37 as a whole week to basically the descending variation of 33-36. May just have to play that by ear. The last 2 weeks present very new ground technically anyway. I don't know that we'd necessarily want to decide anything on that one this far ahead.
Thanks for your thoughts on this.

Your breakdown looks good to me, but I think everybody who's still participating is pretty much finding their own pace.

Chromatic - 120 bpm - from the A D and G strings.
4ths - 110 bpm - from the E A and D strings. I thought this one sounded better with the backing track a little slower.
2nds - 120 bpm - from the A D and G strings.
Minor 3rds - 120 bpm - from the D and G strings.

Trying to add a little bit of variation to the pattern, i.e. playing around with it. Self critique, need to eliminate the ringing extraneous notes.

Technical issues on my end. I may have to get another SD card reader to upload...

All 4 cycles recorded in one take, with one major clammy bit, but otherwise has moments of decent swing. My normal recording setup isn't currently working.
Just trying to post something. Sorry.

Any comments are welcome.

Hanging in here. May be Monday before I can make a video though.
Godspeed to all!
