88: Measuring Your Guitar Progress & The Edge Of Ability

Quayle, Willson & Beebee reconvene for a follow up on playing consistency, which, quickly turns into a discussion on how to measure ones guitar progress in a healthy objective manner. Beebs guinea pigs an example of Giant Steps with legato and discovers that consistency may not be the issue after all. Light is shed on the effects of always playing at the edge of ones ability. Finally the guys cover some Facebook discussion group chat and ponder why students find descending scales harder than ascending.
