Overall Basic Melody Comments from Timothy Gatehouse:
Quite good navigation, with no real troubles to speak of. One or two hints of rolling crossing noises, on the way up from a strike, but nothing that killed the strike. Keep an eye on finger height. Usually due to a rambunctious pinky finger... Solid work, and good understanding of all that is needed to move on to Phase 3... Cheers! @Timothy-Gatehouse
