  Hey AM-Pickers,
  
  this is my submission for April 2019. I’ve been thinking about for a long time what I could contribute for CAGED and finally The Allman Brothers came to my mind with an old classic piece, called “Listen to the Music” . There are a lot of chords in different positions on the neck in there and I thought this could fit.
  
  I played the rhythm part over a backing track and added a solo line for the melody. Hope you like it!

  A wonderful rendition Eric! That’s the Doobie Brothers easily confused with the Allman Brothers.But you are an accomplished musician. Well done Eric Clapton brother. 😀

    Thank you very much James!
    You’re right, of course, that’s the Doobie Brothers, not the Allmans. 🙂

  Eric, that was great man. Great lead improvisation. You were fully integrated into the track and mastered the issue more than well. I think you play so well because you have role models; as your wall betrays behind you. Thick thumbs up.
  
  Play guitar just like you live; don't get bogged down in theory, it's just a tool without feeling.

  That was a first class performance, Eric. Very cool to hear an instrumental version of that classic song. Your licks fitted in perfectly with the spirit of the song.

  Fantastic. I enjoyed every second of that, you’re playing was brilliant and I’m gonna have to dig out that Doobie Brothers album which I ain’t heard in ages.
