Initially I was having a little trouble with this. But as you keep saying, work on getting the sync right at slower speeds. So I spent more time with it slowed way down and trying to relax. To work on getting the muscle memory right. That helped a lot. Anyways, here is my take at 100 bpm.
Nice work, man It can still be improved yet but overall it's getting there. I think it's the timing that probably needs more work but the actual synchronisation itself sounds good.. and that's what we're looking for !
So, which direction did you find tougher ? Descending from pinky to index or the other way ?

It seemed that index to pinky was slightly harder. When increasing speed, I would quickly get to the point where i would completely lose it (sync). With pinky to index, it seemed I could test myself faster and somewhat keep the sync together.

Yeah I think a lot of people find it that way too.. pinky to index seems to have more of a natural flow, almost like gravity

Hi Ben!
My Bushido #4 task:
Excellent.. I like how you guys used the backing tracks !
Great co ordination. As before, the only thing that may cause you a slight problem is the last shape which involves the 3rd and 4th finger being next to each other. Getting the 3rd and 4th finger to work independently of each other is one of the hardest things about developing the fretting hand.. so just keep a close eye on that aspect
