        Thank you all for the wonderful feedback on my first post. Here’s #2
        Something borrowed, something new, and definitely something Blue.

        And Happy July 4th!

                  Another uptempo number Simo! Well played and if I’m not mistaken it’s a John Lee Hooker blues. Thanks for sharing and all the best!

                          I like your up tempo groove and the nice crunchy tone from your guitar.

                                  Some good old time rock Simo. Tight rhythm playing. Love your guitar. EPI semi hollow?

                                      Yes, you’re right! It’s Epiphone Sheraton II, semi hollow. It’s my first and only electric guitar so far, therefore I can’t compare it to anything else. I’ve been happy with it

                                          I used to go see John Lee Hooker play in Santa Cruz, California at the Catalyst. He would have been proud. Nice playing.

                                              Wow, thank you, John. I wish I could have been there too! He was on tour in Europe and performed in Finland in June 1991, while I of course was working abroad.
                                              He’s one of my absolute favorites.

                                                  The groove and tempo just wants to draw one in on your fine playing there Simo. Enjoyed listening over a morning coffee.

                                                  The melody of the notes is what expresses the art of music . 🙂 6stringerPete

                                                  It really is all about ”melody”. The melody comes from a language from our heart. Our heart is the muscle in music harmony. The melody is the sweetness that it pumps into our musical thoughts on the fretboard. 🙂 6 stringer Pete
