  Hi All,
  
  A shout out to Geoff for recommending this one a while back. As Geoff said, not a difficult solo but definitely a fun one to learn and play. I’m playing both parts and add my own cycle to follow Brian’s.
  
  All the best!

  Well played, Garry. Your solo really fit well with the J.J. style.
  I have a soft spot for that EP. It was a monthly challenge way back in my early AM days.

  Really nicely done Garry. Your part blended nicely with Brians. You played very smoothly too.

  Very Mark Knopfler-esque. Technique and tone are spot-on. Impressive improv. Well-done, as always, Garry.

  That is excellent work from you as always Garry 👏 👍.
  
  Interesting that you chose finger style on this. What I like is the softer tone you get with this and it those plucked third progressions sound so clear.
  
  Thoroughly enjoyed listening. The more I play the more I think simpler leads sound the best 👌.

  Brilliant work Garry! Steady and spotless rhythm part and excellent leads: your own second part flows seamlessly and beautifully and the finger picking technique is perfect for this piece!

  I am a big fan of J.J. Cale and this one is one of my favorite lesson. I think that the rhythm part is quite tricky to play with these single notes. It took me a while to get it under my fingers.
  Well, you played both rhythm and lead in perfection. Your own cycle sounded great and fitted very well.
  Great tone on both guitars.

  More Blues!
