        Hi all,

        I missed last months which was the first time in two years! I’ve been kept busy which isn’t a bad thing. It meant I couldn’t miss it this month though so here’s my May submission.

          Jordan, absolutely flawless, I’ve watched a few people play that but yours was a masterclass. Your timing was precise and clinical, not seen often among those acoustic blues numbers, congratulations.

                    That was absolutely perfect played Jordan. A pleasure to listen to you.

                    Play guitar just like you live; don't get bogged down in theory, it's just a tool without feeling.

                            Well played Jordan. Could be Brian playing for that matter.
                            Quite enjoyable.

                              Perfect. Well recorded, nice hybrid picking, you hit every note spot on. I’ve been learning that lesson using straight fingerpicking, so I was interested to hear the cleaner sound you got from hybrid picking.

                                    I agree with everyone. Perfectly played. I would have believed if someone told me this was Eric Clapton playing (honestly)!
