        Hey all. First post after subscribing on and off to Active Melody for a couple of years. Coincidentally this is the same lesson another member just posted and did a great job.

        Guitar is a 2007 PRS McCarty.

          Great playing Adam. Stand and Deliver! Accurate single line and rhythmic work with a real classic rock feel. Fantastic first submission. Well done!

            Nice Adam. Great tone and rhythm play. Sounds like Keith!

              the beautifull PRS does not do it all, also need a solid player anf you were there .
              very good

              Where does the white go when snow melts?

                  Always make a grand entrance and what a grand entrance you made with your first showcase Adam, well impressed with your playing.

                    This one is lots of fun to play and loop. I really need to get a better audio solution for impromptu videos like this.

                        Excellent first post Adam, very well done. I just posted this one the other day, so I know it inside out and you did an excellent job better than mine. Nice PRS too. I think you are more than ready for the monthly challenges.

                          Hey Adam, you really nailed that one – very professional sounding. Good job on the video and audio as well. Maybe you could rockify the unusual Monthly Challenge for this month.

                            I’ll definitely have to try the monthly challenge at some point. Right now I think I’ll do some videos of my favorite lessons from over the past couple of years:

                            EP196 – Jerry Garcia lead
                            EP203 – Jam Band blues (fast and challenging)
                            EP233 – Fast Hybrid picked blues in E
                            EP151 – 3 chord rock blues rhythm
                            EP218 – Jam band rhythm (sounds like Franklin’s Tower by the Grateful Dead)

                            Should keep me busy. 🙂

                              Hey Adam,
                              Great mix of rhythm and single line fills. Your right hand kept a good flow going. You got the perfect tone for this classic rock sound starting with that beautiful PRS guitar!

                                    Very good, Adam! This is a great ‘debut’, haha! You play with so much confidence, your timing is like clockwork and the sound is perfect out of that beautiful PRS.

                                    Best regards,

                                        Thanks again everyone. Very kind.

                                        One of my band mates said I should try this on a Tele to channel Keef. I think I’ll do that and try to get it a little smoother in parts. Maybe better sound quality as well.

                                          Hi Adam,
                                          Great first post! That PRS setup has some bite. 246 is a good choice too. I wasn’t familiar with it and will have to look it up. Let’s hear it for the rhythm players!

                                          Just focus on the notes you DID get right . . . Frank Vignola
