        Beautiful tune from Brian, with some familiar phrases. The Commodores? Joe Cocker?

        Just focus on the notes you DID get right . . . Frank Vignola

          Nicely done! Using those cool harmonies and slides and perfect voicings. Fits really well with the track!

          It's all about the journey, not the destination.

              You are So Beautiful indeed! That fit perfectly, very nice arrangement and performance, Bruce.

                  I can clearly hear some “You are so beautiful” variations in what you play, Bruce. And it fits perfectly with the track. Very well done!

                      That was really lovely Bruce. I particularly liked your finishing line with the harmonies – it closed it out perfectly.

                        You Are So Beautiful…. pretty cool Bruce. Love the melodies you are grabbing. The Tele sounds great as usual. You really start cookin’ as your solo develops.

                          Really nice Bruce! Great harmonies, triads and some cool bluesy bends to boot.

                            Hi Bruce, so nice! I’m used to a blusey vibe from you, but his one had that classic rock ballad feel all over it. Great!

                              Cool hat, Bruce! And your playing is spot on also. Fits the jamtrack perfectly.

                                The spareness of those notes mixed in with those blues licks compliment this track nicely. Well done!

                                  Good call on the Joe C reference Bruce! Great fills and leads and double stops. One of your best!~!

                                    I could hear “You are so beautiful to me”. I also could hear “Desperado”. Very good Bruce.
