Thanks, everybody for your comments. This piece needs a lot more serious work by me. I’ll try and submit a better version when I get it down better.

Thanks, Scott, for your advice on the backing track. I could barely hear it even myself when playing, and sometimes not at all. I lot this track a lot, though, especially for its tempo and helping me to better learn how to insert my own licks and maybe improvise eventually. I’ll definitely turn the backing track up. I got the tone setting on the guitar from Brian’s suggestion in the lesson. I got the new Vox amp, and I love it so far because it only has five knobs and I actually understand what the knobs mean. The were no foot pedals involved, only the amp. Brian always mentions the pedals he’s using in his lessons, but I don’t know what the heck he’s talking about.
