I am working my way through it. I have a question for you gurus of the mando. Is perfection the only time to move on to the next piece. I actually worked on the same piece for two going on three weeks. I was working for perfection but got a little bored with the piece. So I went to the next for a change. It wasn't perfect but I am certain my ability to play the piece I was bored with improved also. I am now working on several consecutive pieces at once. The question is IS THIS WRONG? Should I remain on the one piece till perfect? The only reason I ask is I'm on my own here. No instructors for 8 hours plus drive. I want to be extra cautious not to do anything that will cause bad habits. Thanks all John
