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.

Smooth, laid back and in the groove. Classic J.J. Cale 👍. Love this lesson too and find it hard to say if I like the lead, with it’s restraint or the addictive rhythm part the best. Needless to say you played both flawlessly and the finger style lead was superb with your extra cycle staying right in the mood of the first. Couldn’t help noticing that you have some Knopfler traits in your picking hand which likely explains the touch and feel you infused into the performance.
Love the T-shirt too 😎! -

Having a second listen Garry.
Again the finger style on this was impressive.
You know the rest 😉

A cool performance Garry, your improvised part fitted seamlessly. These JJ Cale routines are just fabulous to play with some of the best grooves.

Guitars ring as heaven, man!
