That was a super cool selection of Riffs and Intros Bill, but the last rendition was certainly the most impressive and would automatically draw an impromptu audience.

Richard

A very enjoyable collection through your personal journey. And a cute guest star too! Loved the AM lesson. Thanks Bill

No stairway! 😆

Love your jouney, Bill. Must be great to have an in-house fan club, although, I suspect she really prefers your hard rock roots.😜
John

That was great Bill – interesting and entertaining, as well as the great music. Finn is obviously destined for stardom.

Wow you can play anything, bet you get invited to all the parties! It was really great!

Amazing gang, you two there! Yes, it really seems that you had playing in band while ago. You got confidence.
Can’t wait to listen you to play the whole song soon.
Lights.

Very entertaining, Bill and Finn. Great tunes, dancing and dialogue. “No Stairway”. 😂 🤣 😂

James

Awesome Bill, enjoying combination of tunes

Happy New Year

Vincent

That was a pure gold submission, Bill – and sorry, but the star of the show just has to be your daughter, Finn (my wife, Fiona, signs herself ‘Fin’) – nurture her spirit, it’s a precious gift! Loved the “No Stairway’ comment 😂😂😂👍🎶😎

Your daughter is so cute! that’s a great video. And thanks for pointing me to EP289. There are still so many hidden gems in the AM library and thanks to these submissions I find them. Best, Andre

Well, it is rather tragic, Bill. You give everything you have, play very cool intros and riffs, a very popular AM lesson and all of that flawless and with style… and yet you still are only the annoying guy who prevents us from seeing what we want to see: Finn’s cool dance moves and comments…
Finn, next time leave your daddy out of your tremendous video making 😊👋🏽

I think Finn deserves a spot in the AM Challenge Hall of Fame. Her dad’s playing and review of his personal musical history was good, too.

Entertainment Plus Bill! A great idea and you weren’t even the star of the show! 😉 Well played on all and I bet many of us have played these songs along the way! A top sub for sure! Congratulation Fynn for me too. All the best! 👏👏👏🌟👏👏👏. 😎🎸😎

Bill,
In a word, fantastic!
Great riffs, and Finn, you stole the show. Have fun with the videos.

Bruce
PS: Esp liked 289 on the Charlie Christian guitar. I had forgotten about it, it’s back on the to do list.

Hi Bill, what fun! You brought back a lot of memories of High School moments with the guitar, playing the well known riffs of popular songs, and leaving it at that. And what a fun video with Finn! Happy new year to you and yours.

Bill you have a big repertoire.
Shouldn’t be a problem for you if asked to play the guitar.
Your daughter is very sweet.
Love it when she said no stairway, very funny.

Although your daughter definitely stole the show, I think Finn has the coolest dad ever because he can play all the “famous” riffs and she can dance to them! Except for “Stairway” which is not allowed, lol

Love your family showcase here and your musical journey story as well. Never thought of the “lefty” challenge of not being able to play just any random guitar – that makes sense! I know that Justin (of Justin Guitar) actually bought a lefty guitar in an attempt to learn to play it and try to understand the beginner perspective better. How cool is that??

Hi Bill !
A great rendition of playing your ” go to” songs over time ! Love Finn’s interpretation of each one as well ! Great idea and awesome performances 🎶🙂👍

Oh Bill we were teens in the same years I guess, what wonderful memories you’ve awaken! and your daughter is so cute 🙂 great submission!

Congratulations Bill and Finn on your fantastic performance and teamwork. Such a great collection of songs and dances. I really like the song selections and EP289 was one of my favorite challenge posts. As a funny thing, I was working on a memory lane medley too before deciding to post a little live video and it actually included Stairway (because I’m a rock rule breaker) … it might have resulted in backlash! Thanks for your post. Cheers, Tom

Very nice Bill-I enjoyed tracking you guitar journey. Your daughter is a cutie and a gem. I loved listening to her. You will have a fine addition to the family band there.

I enjoyed the video Bill, brought a smile to my face. But also enjoyed the collection of songs you put in there. Man, I’d love to jam with you on those songs! The last song was especially beautiful. Very nicely done. Thanks for your submission.

Bill, you are a pretty awesome guitar player BUT….Fin stole the show man. Hire her as your vid/choreographer and you will go places here on AM. Happy New Year too Bothe of you. Pap

Hey Bill,

Well I gotta say this has been by far my favourite submission I’ve watched this weekend.

It’s exactly what the challenge is all about and you have a plethora of recognisable riffs and licks in your back pocket.

I know a lot of songs but I usually learn them and then never play them again so it would take me more than a few shots to remember them the way you have.

And how can we not all love Finn?

She looked like she was having more fun than you and I bet she goes on to be quite the YouTuber 😉

Loved it mate a big well done from me.

Liam.

Yeah I agree also ………Finn stole the show ! She’s a natural in front of the camera 👌👏👏👏
A fun collection of tunes to showcase , but I’m glad you landed on Ep 289 it’s such a cool jazz/ blues one and sounds great on your new guitar those pick ups have the perfect tone for it .

Martin

You’ve a great collection of songs in your pocket to play for an audience, and you can play all them very well! Very entertaining performance and video and your pretty guest star made me laugh when she said: “No stairway to heaven!”: a natural born actress!

What a great video supported by your lovely daughter. I like her comments and dancing😃👍. “No stairway”🤣. She is a talent and not shy on camera.
Very good song choices. My favorites are Layla and EP289….great jazzy blues tune. You can play that style very well.
Happy new year to you and your family. I am looking forward to your further musical journey.
Denise

Bill and Finn!! Loved the concert!! Dave Mathews, Eric Clapton, Bob Marley, G & R, got some Led out too! Then, wrapped it up super cool with jazzy Blues (or, is that Bluesy Jazz??). And Finn – you are an entertainer in the making!!!:)

With this great support your contribution could only be a success, Bill. Congrats for Finn, she did a great job. But you also: very entertaining to watch your musical career with a superb finale! A Fantastic showcase!

Terrific entertainment topped off with that perfect rendition of EP289 to which you brought your own style.
Your guest star stole the show though 👏👏. “No Stairway” had me in stitches too!
And I love your solution to the “play something”, conundrum. Just learning the intros, that’s what we want to play and they want to hear 😄

Bill – that was so awesome and delightful! No Stairway – had me in stiches. This was the highlight of this month’s challenge.

Bill, that was an enjoyable and entertaining video presentation. Creative thinking outside of the box. Inclusion of your special guest star plus your musical journey in genre’s over the years but it does seem blues/jazz was your ultimate destiny. Cleverly done with humour and a keeper for an audition reel for you both.

I enjoyed the journey, you have a great musical partner there! Well done!

Great medley there Bill. But I think you cheated by including that little cutie petootie Finn!
