        I just had a few minuets and quickly put this together, so be easy on me.

          Well done. If you don’t have much time, you use your repertoire. Well served

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

              For being short on time this all came together nicely. Some tasty licks in there.

                Nice use of the “Rolling Stones” move at 1:44 Brendan! And moving up the neck chodally! Is that a word??? LOL. Way to pull something out of the air and memory bank and make it sound great. Well done! B

                    Excellent for last minute.
                    Very smooth, arabic vibe.
                    Would have been nice to see your fingers.

                      Pretty darn melodic. Impressive hybrid picking. I enjoyed your chosen chord progression there. Good stuff.

                        A few minutes? Wow 😲
                        I like your melodic theme with the bass reply 👍🎸 and the double stops.
                        The two lines very well arranged. Simple but very effective!
                        Well done.

                              A tastefully composed piece and you played all figures with great timing. It produced a very compelling piece of blues music. We’ll done.

                                Brendan, nice composition and well played. I dont think anyone on this website is hard on anyone….which is one of the things I really like. Keep jamming and posting. Cheers. Pap

                                  Very impressive for a just few minutes work, Brendan!
                                  You kicked off with the theme lick and kept coming back to it, I think this is a best method for jams like that. The sound of it stays in my head long after you stop playing, so yeah – well done, great sub!

                                    “Be easy on me”… isn’t that the latest Adele song? No worries Brendan, you played quite well with a nice motif to hold the piece together and some nice blues licks. Pretty good for a quick piece of work.

                                      That’s few minutes well spent to record, and for me to listen. Nice licks. Great post.

                                        Enjoyed the repetitive motif and the hybrid picking Brendan. Great effort, especially if it’s only a last minute performance. 👏🌟👏 Keep on pickin’ and all the best! 🥸🎸🥸

                                          You can never go wrong with your down pat repertoire. Very nice.
