        Hey to all AM members,
        for the Callenge of May I could not find anything original, which is why I chose EP 362 a lesson on the use of triads.

          straight good and fully on topic.
          clever management of your momentary lack of inspiration, result is sweet and very well done.

          Where does the white go when snow melts?

              Nice work, Carpa! Very soulful and relaxing 👍🎶

              Those slide-able triads are wonderful – I’ve started using them a lot. They really add colour to the tune! 😎

                          Nice job. You served the triad well.

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

                                  Nice submission, Carpa. You’ve encouraged me to go back and look at that lesson – I don’t remember it but you made it sound good.

                                      Nice and bluesy with your leads and sliding triads. Well done.

                                          Sweet. You get around nicely on the fretboard. You’ve persuaded me to give that lesson a try. I love that easy kind of sound.

                                              Hey Carpa, nice job on this. I did this EP in prep for this months challenge as well. It is packed with so much info, I listened to it several times. Nice playing.

                                                  That was nicely played Carpa , timing was good and those triads came busting out at you loud and clear. Great job.
