While testing out angles and ways to record I made takes of 41 and 42. I try doing quarter note triplets over the backing track, but I’m really a fish out of water, having never done anything similar before. Any criticism on both playing and recording is welcome (even harsh), so I can continue working throughout the week with better results.

These triplets are hard as hell.

Anyway, after hearing all of the posts everyone has been doing--I'm not only impressed, but I can hear the potential for music in the context of an improvisation in these studies. I really couldn't hear that before.
I saw mention of 3 nps somewhere here. I was wondering if anyone tried the same pattern with: different fingers, different positions, trying to get most of the pattern on: 1 string, 2 strings, 3 strings--etc? That could open up some more possibilities.
Oh, if I join, do I have to post my progress in Youtube form or can I do it with Soundcloud? I'm a teacher by day, so posting stuff on Youtube--or any social media--makes me nervous.

I haven't yet read ahead in the book. Do any of the future exercises get more interesting, i.e., out of the ionian mode and into some potentially usable lines?

Next week begins 1235 patterns, eventually pick up patterns in dominant mixolydian and Dorian for minor. Then, there are a lot of II-V patterns .
Interesting. I found the very old thread on the forum about this book , and basically they were talking about just starting with the 1235 patterns , because they're more interesting. I've gotten a lot out of the previous ones in terms of just firming up fretboard etc. the upcoming ones would be much more difficult without it in my opinion.

It's actually good to start when the patterns are simple becuase you get into the habit of posting and it's not much work to learn the patterns.
Later on, things get more involved and different people will make different decisions about how they want to get the patterns under their fingers.

Chromatic lower neighbors and enclosures follow after 1235's I think.

Here's 38-40, mistakes and all. Any critique appreciated.
Among other things, I'm really not an electric player, and my second string is so much louder than the others. I've never done anything with adjusting pickups, but it's probably time for me to get after it.
Any thoughts on tone etc otherwise are especially appreciated.
