        Hello All,

        Here, I thought was a great lesson from Brian. EP478 I feel it’s an acceptable job but I’m never going to be as clean as Brian and you know what? I it doesn’t matter. I’m getting so much theory (my big love) out of it. it’s very inspiring. I Love Brians explanation of the G6 and the G9

        thanks for the listen

          That sounds great, Paddyboy! You were really picking those notes cleanly and playing all the different chords well. That was an awesome tone out of your guitar; the bass notes sounded super. What a cool lesson and played excellently.

              thanks Larry. The tone is thanks to my new studio.

                That all sounded pretty clean to me, Paddyboy – really beautiful and I’m not sure what improvements you could make. Really well done 👍🎶

                  That sounded really good and clean too. I think we are all to quick to criticize our own playing.

                    Very nicely done paddyboy and I agree completely with what the others are saying here. Truth is none of us are going to sound as clean as Brian, but it is always fun trying 🙂

                      Very well played, Paddyboy! I wish I could play it as clean and fluent like you!
                      That’s such a great Brian’s “standard” lesson with these nice 2nd dominant chords.

                        Great playing! Is that a custom pick guard?

                          Thanks for the comments everyone. Yes Mike, I’ve had this guitar for 11 years, it was my first and I was picking a hole in the body so I had that
                          pick gaurd made for it.

                          PS I just heard John Hanau play EP303 and he has inspired me to try and learn that one.

                              Nice clean articulate playing on this tricky lesson. Great tone as well. Lots of chord changes in this one.
