        I love this style of blues and the first time I heard this lesson I had to give it a good try. My sincere thanks to Brian for with the help of his lessons I’ve gone beyond what I thought I could ever play. I’ve ditched most of the first round because that always seems a bit rusty when I’m recording. There’s some deliberate and also random bits of improv in this but overall I’m pretty pleased with the result.
        I hope you enjoy!

          Sounding good, Bruce. It’s a great feeling when you’ve conquered a tough lesson. Timing and tone are just right. Great job.

                  Played with lots of blues attitude Bruce! Definitely had my foot tappin’ and loved the added impro lines for sure. Awesome bends, can’t wait to learn this one too. Kudos on a top performance. ✅✅✅ All the best! 😎🎸😎

                                  That was really very nicely played Bruce and I enjoyed listening 🎶.

                                  If you like this style check out EP496. That was a fantastic lesson I did some time ago.

                                    This is a great lesson and you played it so well Bruce. Twice round and then some Improvisation, applause all round. I started this lesson but then went on to other things, you’ve now inspired me to go back to it.

                                      Well done, Bruce! I love this lesson, too. Just the kind of music that makes me wake up and wanna grab my guitar. I am practicing this lesson already, but I’m only slowly making progress. Which doesn’t matter, because it’s still so much fun. Keep em coming!
