Cool tone on this Ralph, and you can definitely feel the blues coming through your fingers. Hope your treatments are going well. 🙏

Ralph, that’s a fantastic composition.

We can really hear that you play with heart and soul.

I’m sorry to hear you’re going through such a difficult time, and I wish you a continued good recovery.

Hope your feeling better.
I love this backtrack from Quist.
I just let everything flowing out of me when I did it and I hear you just did the same.
Nice version.

Wonderful expressive playing, Ralph. You were really feeling it and the music flowed through your instrument. Playing these blues is good medicine.
Blessings for your complete recovery.

Hi Ralph, all the best to you Sir. You, indeed, played a rich and tonefull blues here. Very enjoyable to listen and easy to sink into the vibe.

Amazing performance Ralph – these are genuine blues. Hope your recovery is complete.

This was beautiful beautiful blues and an oddly tinning tone on that guitar.
No matter, your runs, phrasing, bends and trills were all spot on terrific. (Of course a Quist backing track can’t be beat for setting the right mood.)
Good luck with your treatment.

Feeling it, the connection from soul to fingers. It was so spot on. Beautiful and yet many questions were expressed in your ‘Resurrection Blues’. Now allow the answer to come…. by those stripes you are healed.

Sounds great Ralph. You can definitely hear the emotion. Some fantastic licks in there.

Best wishes on your recovery!

Beautiful! I closed my eyes and just listened!

Beautiful vibe my friend. Sounds pro level. Love that Strat sound. Very distinct.

Real quality playing, Ralph – an excellent submission with no sign of any limitation at all 👏👏. Very best wishes to you, and hope your treatment goes well – Mark ♥️👍🎶😎

Yep, I can see that lot of work went into that one, Ralph – well played! I can relate because I’m into my second year of cancer treatment. I try to adopt a Zen attitude and just live in the moment as much as possible.

Absolutely beautiful, Ralph! You poured your emotions into it and I could definitely hear that, especially that I am very familiar with the backing track (from a previous challenge). Obviously you have no problem using your fingers, no pick necessary, I especially like to ditch it for more emotive playing like you did here. I could listen to this forever…. so many great ideas and techniques in there…

Wish you all the best with the treatments and a full recovery soon! ❤️‍🩹🎶

You can hear that you’ve put all your emotions into it, Ralph. And through your fingers they flow directly into the notes that come out of your guitar. Wonderful composition! Just like a prayer! All the best to you and that your treatment goes well!

You could tell you were feeling that Ralph. Such depth of soul in your sound and phrasing and dynamics. A joy to listen to from the first note. Loved that super long trill around the 4 minute mark. So simple but so effective.

Very soulful playing with well phrased licks to match that slow blues vibe. …very well done sir!
