        hello am friends, I had to prepare this challenge quickly due to my departure for the holidays in Sicily; the execution is not perfect in terms of tempo and the stops of two chords during the scales are sometimes missing. it was a fun and instructive challenge and I tried to use both the F and C mixolydian scale. I thank you for listening and I am curious to hear all the challenges, sorry if I will not make comments or I will make a few but the means I have available is inconvenient for this activity. a big hello to all.

                I have to say i miss nothing in your video, Livio. Fine well sounding melody lines that spread your holiday mood all over us. Have a nice time in Sicily.

                      That was a lovely old fashioned tone that you had on the guitar. Great playing. Enjoy your holiday, you deserve it after this.

                          Nice and bold, Livio – you took us on a cool little journey into the major scale and the mixolydian vibe. Always so creative and musical. It seems like September is a vacation/holiday month in Europe, enjoy Sicily!

                                Cool Livio. Like the cavernous reverb you used. Gave lots of space to your recording. Enjoy your holiday!

                                  What a sound… Powerful track emerged. Your lead runs also matched well. Well done.

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

                                    You’ve got a real cool vibe going here Livio (almost The Shadows-like) and also great to see and hear you again on electric guitar. Enjoyed the video visuals as well and your wave to us at the end! Keep on pickin’ and all the best! 🥸🎸🥸

                                        Wow that’s a rich vintage tone you’ve dialled in there , another interesting take on the backing track has a sixties feel to my ear .
                                        Happy holidays .

                                            Nice rendition of the challenge Livio; the reverb gives the song a new vibe to the jam track. Nice submission! Enjoy your holidays!

                                                very beautiful composition with great accuracy for the choice of tone, it’s just beautiful.

                                                Where does the white go when snow melts?

                                                  Hi Livio:
                                                  Great tone and flow. Very nice use of those scales to phrase your licks. You know how to create a cadence and target notes that surprise, fit, and sound so good. Enjoy your Sicilian holiday.

                                                  Cheers, Tom
