I'm a beginner and I have several basic grooves down to the point where I can - and do - do them in my sleep. I'd like yo learn a basic song that I can jam and experiment with, and based on most of the sheet music I've looked at, it seems like learning the technique in the subject would open a lot of doors for me.
As such, I've been reviewing this:

Thinking about the two lines simultaneously seems impossible, but if I combine the two lines in my head (rhythmically), the exercises are a breeze to play. This makes me wonder if I'm "cheating" in a sense and not really building true limb independence.
So my question is, is it standard practice to think about each line 100% independently, or combine them to get the resulting rhythm?
I do have a teacher, but I don't see him until Saturday and I'm impatient
Thanks!
