Timothy G. - Phase 1 - Skymans Jig

Overall Rhythm Comments from Grader:

Hi Tim. You nailed this submission! The only issue was on the repeat of the 1st part, where you were a tiny bit late on the pickup note. But that had more to do with the set up, and you didn't do it again in subsequent parts. If you had let you your hands rebound up more after bar 8, you would have been in position to play that pick up on time. But, VERY minor...congratulations and welcome to phase 2. Good Luck. Cheers, Ed
