        Cool track to get your blues vibes going …

        Live on planet Earth ? You got the blues.

          One of my favourite blues, both in the electric and in the acoustic Clapton’s versions, and your rendition on the Strat is just brilliant, Mike!
          Your bluesy phrasing is top-notch, alternating beautifully slow soulful phrases with fast runs, just like master Clapton! Pure clean blues tone from you Strat. Great rendition!

            Sounds good, Mike. Is that track on YouTube?

                I can only echo what Guido said. A top notch performance with some excellent phrasing. Very nice Mike ! ❤️

                  Outstanding, Mike! Very cool!! Smooth transitions with moving pick around in hand. Great phrasing and spacing between notes, and awesome guitar tone.
                  Enjoyed!

                      Well, although it’s only 7:30am here, and although this submission reminded me more of late-night, smoky bar environments, it just proves: There’s never a wrong time to listen to such excellent Blues playing 👏👏👏

                      Wonderful stuff, Mike – listened to this twice. Loved it 👍🎶😎
