Great playing today. Devin played Paralyzer along to the recorded track, and his timing was nearly perfect. He still needs to work on the fill, but everything else is coming along quite nicely.

Lesson Comments
Devin was still feeling a little under the weather, so his playing wasn't as good as it normally is. I attribute it to his just having an off day. He still played OK, but was just having trouble focusing. I have no doubt that he will be "back" next session.
