Hi everyone,
I hoped to produce something interesting based very closely on the unusual chord progression in EP481, but unfortunately I found this harder than I expected! This strange and very brief result, with nervous fumbles, is all I came up with.
I look forward to checking out other members’ submissions.

It may not be what you envisioned Brian but your lead lines and chord work sounds great. I really like your jazz phrasing and found it to be interesting and well done.
Cheers, Tom

Don‘t be too hard to yourself, Brian. You played some nice arpeggios and brought out this nice melody. And than this wonderful ending. I enjoyed it.

Sorry, Don, at one point I decided to withdraw this as it just wasn’t ready, but then I thought that just makes me look sillier!

Nicely played and orchestrated. Your choice of Strat and Fender Reverb Amp make for such a great tone. I enjoyed your performance immensely.John H.

So jazzy. So good! Stanley Jordan is smiling! I love how you “stretch” the box, then look outside the box, and then reel us in and “resolve” your ideas! Great job! B

Your chord changes composition sounded quite sophisticated, Brian! I didn’t hear any fumbles, I think it was really well played all the way to the end, including that nice and dreamy ending chord 🙂

This is nice, really has a “walking” feeling, which I think a lot of good music has.

Nice jazzy chords and melodies on top of it. Seems that you got more relaxed as the song goes. Those different chords voicing as so nice to hear (and the tone of the guitar matches the vibe).
