god DAMN that sounds good dude. very tight. I think I heard a couple little “mistakes” but it’s a major victory IMO that you kept going without getting thrown off by them.
(my take is that some mistakes are inevitable and learning to play around them and keep them “quiet” is significantly more useful than “never making mistakes”)
I too am working on DSX upstroke chunking. Over the last two weeks I’ve found that the upstroke chunking is allowing me to access the RDT motion rather than elbow more easily than downstroke chunking.
Shoutout @steve506 for mentioning having the trapped pick stroke being the chunk note in another post, it has allowed me to “unlock the wrist,” as a certain Austrian influencer puts it
I’m glad it served you well! I just love that kind of Mr Miyagi kind of advice you get here in the forum which sometimes works almost immediately. I can’t claim authoring on any of those ideas but will forever share them anywhere I go.

With all due respect as we are all trying to be constructive, please don’t do that for matters of speed, OP.
No disrespect meant. I’m working on doing the same thing. Practicing slowly is meditative. It lets me focus. I recommend it to everybody.
Absolutely. I like to slow things down so I can digest the musical content more appropriately, but rarely for speed technique.
