It's natural. Just one small thing. "Basically" has become an informal word... its meaning and function is quite weak nowadays. Because of this, it's more natural to say "I've" instead of "I have" to reflect the reduced formality.

@blhuellas thank you! It’s a thing I didn’t expect. I thought there may be a contradiction between “basically” and “master”
