  I used “You are my sunshine” for my exercise. First verse in cowboy position, second verse a nod to the melody, verse 3-4 get a little bluesier.
  
  Recorded on Quicktime with my Blackstar Fly. The original video sounded good to me (a little cleaner,) but the YouTube upload is a little hot; not sure what’s up with that. :/
  
  Anyways, thanks for listening!

  Great idea to use this song for this challenge, Allan. Very fine use of triads and outlining them up and down the neck. You reached the goal of this challenge perfectly. I like the sound!
  
  Take the chance to meet your AM friends on Zoom

  I look forward to meet you.

  What a clever idea/rendition. Sounded smoking’ hot I might add as well. You outline the chord changes nicely with imaginative licks, runs and riffs. Well done.

  Hi Alan:
  You play with great authority – matched by your guitar tone – and used the full range of the fretboard. Well played!
  
  Cheers, Tom

  Nice original approach in using ‘Sunshine’ to illustrate the chord changes. I thought the ‘hot tone’ sounded great.

  It sounded great to my ears, too! Great idea to use the “Sunshine” theme and very well played, I liked the driving rhythm keeping it all together.

  That is a great idea Alan: Take a well-known lick/riff/song and make it your own. We had a Challenge with Twinkle Twinkle Little Star recently. Nicely done!!! B

  Hearing it like that makes me appreciate the mechanics of the music, how it all ties together. That’s begging for a vocalist and a drum or another guitar. Great job on what you played!

  walking the fret board with triads, adding lick, that’s life of a blues man. Nicely done.

  What a nice rendition of the song, with improvised licks and excellent uses of triads & double stops. Certainly a cool version of this song. Really enjoyed it a lot.

  Hey Alan, nice playing around the melody AND describing the chords! Love your use of double stops and getting “bluesy” with the song. Well done!
