Thanks for the exercises! I struggled with the first one the most. Excited to keep going and see the progress over time :)

Thank you for these exercises, Billy. I am especially intrigued by the spider walk, will start on it today, and report back when I achieve a meaningful milestone, such as moving from climbing up/down, to left/right 😊

Hi Ezra! That sounds great, I think you'll find it both challenging and fun to get the hang of! Thanks for your message!

Billy, could you make a video about using the gold strings? Are they worth the price? Can also non profesional hear the difference?

[@adultcello]

Hi! That's a great idea, I'll be sure to add it to the next video I make that deals with equipment. Thanks for your comment!
