        This was a great one for me as it forced me to think ahead to the next phrase. I had to be very intentional about my finger position in order to make smooth transitions.

          You’re killing it in Montana, Bob. This was well played.

          Go slow and practice correct technique, and your abilities will dramatically improve.

              Thanks Michael,
              Having a great time and learning more than I ever thought I would.

              Fine jazzy playing.

                I have to say, I really liked the sound of this. Your intonation was very clear and making the electric guitar sound good without a backing track takes some doing 😎

                    Thanks Geoff,
                    I am playing through a little Mustang LT2 on a Chicago blues preset.

                    I struggle with finger position but you nailed it Bob.

                        Thanks Joe,
                        That was a tricky one for me. I have very little experience with arpeggio. I tend to be a bit clumsy with my pick hand.

                        That is some fine playing on the SG Bob! That’s one I want to go back and work on.
                        On a side note, I rode my Harley across Montana in 1974 and it is truely Big Sky Country!

                            Hi Mike,
                            It really is a fun piece to play. My son bought that SG last month so he could learn to play and the poor kid can barely get it away from me. You were back in Montana in the good old days! Sky was even bigger back then.
