              Don't practice till you get it right, practice till you can't get it wrong.

                      Scott, that was really great. You also have your gripping technique shown, which pleases me very well.
                      Beautiful smoky Sound. Great Guitar!
                      I hope to hear more and to be able to see.

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

                          Hey Scott,

                          I agree with the other comments, you nailed that one at full tempo and I also noticed that your movement control around the fretboard is really strong.

                          Also got to agree the red guitar and raw sound really fits this one; I just need to sit in a smokey blues bar with some beers to do you credit. Not sure we could find a smokey bar any more LOL!

                            Liked the faster tempo, and you clearly have the chops to keep up with it. And I thought your tone was great for your more aggressive approach. Really well done.

                              Excellent! Now THAT was a hard-rocking version. The only thing missing was an entire live backup band. Good sound on the guitar also.

                                OK….how’d you get Brian to lend you his guitar???? That ax played itself…you were just along for the ride. 😉 And I agree, it did look like a single take job…You just banged it out in “here it is, take it or leave it” fashion. Very cool…

                                One suggestion…smile at least once during your performances….LOL

                                        Sal, like a lot of us I seem to get recording button nerves and it took 10 or 12 takes for me to get this.

                                        Marty, I’ll try to remember to smile on my next post, but first I’m going to have to remember to breathe!

                                          Yes….breathing supersedes smiling….by all means. LOL Well done, either way.

                                            Hey Scott, great job on this one. You cranked that tempo up quite a bit but that totally works – made it sound more like a ZZ Top style shuffle, very cool. I couldn’t help but notice that nice looking guitar too 🙂

                                              Hi Scott, I like the way you played that! I’d like to hear you playing some other stuff and also improvising; checked your YouTube channel and found that if you have any other content there, it’s under lock. How about letting the world hear it?
