Bumping the thread for those of us working on FE1...

I'm focused on the G runs and Example 19 right now. I've been guilty of pushing forward a bit too fast, rather than patiently practicing the basics to cement good habits. Every once in a while, Miller will say something that really hits home. For example, he points out that pick direction discipline can fall prey to embellishments and slurs and can ruin your timing, something that is very true for me. Some of the exercises are pretty basic. Yet when I run through them for the first few times, they can serve to highlight some of the inadequately-formed habits that still need work. There are instructional goldmines in our mistakes.

Out of curiosity, WM, what software program did you use to tab out the exercise above? That looks so much cleaner than my hand-written tab!
