Nice John! Glad you got it on the first try. I made all the flubs for you yesterday. The added part kept to the theme with some tasty bends and great feel. Love the Telecaster on this. Is it a newer addition?

The tele sounds sweet on that lesson. Love the bends and tone.

Overall probably the best you’ve posted John. To my ear beautifully balanced. Ever since you joined “the band”, your playing has a more “complete” feel to it. Your last two posts were also really good but I love this one 🙂 Keep up the good work and Thank You.

Top notch John! Played with complete control technically and musically! I especially loved your use of dynamics on this one. Kudos for a first take, something I still aspire to but never come close and … loved your comment re: Brian’s fast little runs! Great to see a lesson where those little pesky spots are nowhere to be seen. Thanks for posting this one. All the best! 😎🎸😎

Great take on this John. The original was pretty much spot on with some lovely bends. Your added part implemented a nice mix of rhythm elements and creative leads. The part with the bass note call and response was especially good. What a tasty looking Tele.

Oh boy, simply incredible! – especially given the short time you had to master this tune and add more to it! I actually love your added licks even more! I really dig the way you made the tone break and keep it clean otherwise, that’s the best best tone to my ear, a true masterclass, John.
The stunning tele reminds of the George Harrison model that I’ll never have 😉

Oh John!!!!This is AWESOME PERFORMANCE ❤️💖❣️💖and with the first take???Playing in a band has undoubtedly contributed to this great soloing!You don’t mind if I “steal” various phrases,do you?😜😜

That was wonderful John. Pro quality. I love how mellow this sounded.

That is one sexy a** looking and sounding Tele. Once again, I am jealous. Marvelously performed. I hate to tell you this but the Tele sounds better than the Strat.

Really smooth playing there John!! Great tempo throughout, and for a first take, it was excellent!! Love the Tele looks and sound!!

That was great John and I can see this is going to be a popular lesson 😀

Your own improvs were really good and I liked that creative use of harmonics. That was a different take on this one. The little bit of added distortion was just right too.

Nice one! Great sound too!

You nailed it, as always, John. Beautiful, smooth tone. Perfectly played. Well done, sir.

Blew me away on this, Charjo! Your second half improv was out of the park!! That Tele is so cool looking and sounding. Fantastic.

Oh how I dream of banking the first take! Up there with hitting a hole in one!
That was superb 👌 and I really liked the repeated harmonic “call” on the bass string in your additions. Going to have a crack at this lesson when I get back from my holiday.

Wow, great stuff, John! Really impressive to nail this on the first take. What a great indication of the level your playing has gotten to.

Spot on tone as always. The tele definitely suits you!

Yeah great John.

I’ve just started looking at this one.

I thought your own additions to the piece fit in very well indeed.

The Tele sounds fantastic.

Liam.

P.s Big kudos for nailing it in one take. I think I’ve only ever accomplished that feat once before – a rare treat indeed!

Great overall rendition, John, and what I liked the best is your own original second part, really very well composed and played, with some fantastic licks and melodies (to borrow for sure)!

Very smooth and musical John. Nice Telecaster!
Ralph

Wow. So nice to listen to John. Very smooth.

Well played John! Is it your own solo idea in the second half? Sounds fantastic!

Great lesson and what awesome playing, John. You play it with so much feel. I‘m really thrilled! Your additions are outstanding.
