Oh Suzy page 3 is almost smooth but I've made a lot of changes to get it to flow through my head. In every bar I break the second pinch to a base-pluck and I moved some plucks around. I like my way better.

Spike Driver is about half way. I think it's easier than Oh Suzy

Thank you Toby, this is great. And my brain thanks you for the work-out!
Thanks for the update. I'm a bit behind you but page 2 is getting there. It's smooth and steady for the most part if I go really slow (so I can look), but once I try without looking I get lost. But I do get Toby's advice... I can do it if I'm paying attention to my hands, not the tab. My 70 year old brain just needs to learn to memorize so I don't need to look.😀
I've started p3 but the first couple bars have me struggling with timing. Hopefully this will be a short roadblock. I've been afraid to look at Spike Driver but maybe I will start looking a bit ahead.

Thanks, and keep the updates coming.
