I have been working hard on bends and 7th chords and I made recordings of lessons 2 and 3.

I've spend a long time on these lessons, but my chord changes were so slow, and my picking style quite irregular and "staccato-like" that I waited abit with moving onwards. Blues Rock Tune was really pushing the envelope for me, so I needed to build up some speed and consistency. I started doing scale practice with a metronome and became fairly confident with Chord Exercise 1 on p 43, which seemed to give me the boost I needed for playing Blues Rock Style.
The picking in Blues Rock Tone is still staccato-like, but it's a fair reflection of my skills right now. It's still better than before, though, and will hopefully improve in time.
Regarding bends: I think they are also better than before, but perhaps I still don't bend quite far enough? (Or maybe it's just intonation problems
)
I started to practice the early lessons in BRYCU in parallel, so I have more material to practice before moving onwards in BUCY while things slowly settle.
Cheers
