Hi Dave,

I'm currently on Level 2. When we submit study songs for evaluation, at what point in our progression through LOA should we begin to submit the song as a single take, played all the way through, warts and all, rather than breaking up the submission into a sequence of  personal "Best Of" sections, that, in total, cover the entire song?

Kind Regards,

ChuiChui

Hello ChuiChui. I recommend

Hello ChuiChui. I recommend you play the whole song in one take, warts and all. Don't submit until you're happy with your error rate. No performance is a perfect one, but you want to feel good about what you send... no perfection needed... but good enough that you're happy with it.
