Nicely played Jola. Nice Tele too. Even though they’re microlessons there’s still a lot to learn on these pieces, but you cracked it. I’m already looking forward to Number 100 – that’s really something.

Wow, one more challenge for 100. That’s incredible in and of itself. That peek into your paper notes for the challenge in the intro was a really nice touch. Your composition turned out really well.

Sounded good on the new to you Tele JoLa. That mod sounds really cool, I rather like the neck pickup on a Tele (see my submission for more).
Interesting that little amp gets so loud, I’ve played the at guitar stores before and rather liked the lower volume sound, but I guess if you are looking for dirt…

Hi JoLa, congratulations on #99 and and your new guitars! The video and your playing are top notch as usual!

Very smooth and soulful. Great driving energy. Recording came out great too!

Hi Jola, you handled these lessons well. Great bluesy tone and phrasing, and smooth playing. I can relate to the time crunch, and sometimes the creativity just has to take a backseat to getting it done. Sounds great as always, and glad to see you. Congrats on the new Tele.

Very soulful playing and great sound.

You took the same approach as I did, JoLa – at least on your first run-thru. Really nice playing and loved the tone dialled in too 👍🎶😎

Great playing Jola ! So smooth and so precise! Nice Tele 😊😊really enjoyed your submission like always!

Very nice rendition JoLa, certainly you got those lessons down. Great tone from the guitar and amp. Congrats on #99 challenge response (I am only about a 1/3rd of yours)!

Nicely done, JoLa. Love your new ‘Tele’, have fun with your new gear.

James

The new Tele-Amp-Connection has a nice, mellow sound, JoLa. Looking forward to hear it cranked up. 😎
In the short time you had, you did very well to learn both micro lessons – I only managed one. Well done!
To play something well, I always have to memorise the notes. I simply cannot play on time and precise while looking at the tabs. (Okay, I hardly manage that when I do memorise the notes 😏).
Looking to forward to your challenge response #100. there should be a special challenge from Brian to celebrate that fantastic achievement!

You played these two lessons very well and so bluesy. Haha you shifted ML129 into G, very convenient.
Love these two last chords.
Very nice sound from your new Tele.
I am glad you are satisfied with your Attenuator. I might get one, too.
Bravo for your 99th challenge!
Denise

It was a special pleasure to hear your versions of ML 129 and 131, Jola, as I also played large parts of them in my challenge entry.
Ah, you also shifted ML129 to G. I especially love your soft and mellow version of these micro lessons.
I always find it fascinating how differently everyone interprets the lessons, and your version is awesome.

Hi JoLa, we did the same thing, but I only did the C shape.
You played both very well.
I learned the C shape in E and the transposition in G drove me cray that’s why I am late to the party.

Very smooth playing JoLa.

Nice work with the two lessons, played at a nice steady tempo , sometimes it’s just as rewarding to learn the material rather than create your own composition, and there’s always a takeaway from each one .
Congrats on your new tele , i have the same and have also had the mod done , lots of variety of tones to choose from .
Glad you got your amp to a more usable volume , as for recording I use a pair of sm57s both with fethead mic boosters but even with that set up the volume needs tweaking slightly in the DAW .
Congratulations on 99 challenge posts a great achievement.

Martin

You’ve played both excellently JoLa on this 99th submission, wow! and also inspired me to focus on technique and clean sound, thank you!

Glad you made the time to participate in the challenge and nice work on the 2 lessons.
That is one swiss army knife of a tele, a friend of mine has the Nashville tele and loves it. I like that mod also.
Don’t sell any more guitars, Jola, i’m starting to feel a twang of guilt😒.

Jola, that was very nicely played! Great looking and sounding Tele. I have an SM57 but have never mic’d my amp. I always record using my HX Stomp and it works out ok.

As the saying goes JoLa, ‘If you want a job done properly, give it to a busy person’ Given your time constraints, you played those lessons beautifully and the new Tele looked and sounded great.
Regards your recording, I remember a few years ago using an SM 57 without a booster but almost touching the amp speaker- cover to good effect and without raising the roof too much.

Really nice! It was not apparent that you had to work quickly on learning Brian’s licks. (I think that’s harder, frankly, because when you invent a piece you naturally use licks that are already built into your muscle memory.) Your playing was clean and very intentional and the hybrid picking was smooth.

The technical issues were not apparent, either, though I understand the occasional need for an attenuator. My son needed one on his Marshall monster amp that was capable of rattling the pans in his kitchen.

(When I was in college, I played with a rock band through a Fender Bandmaster 60-watt? tube amp and a smaller Gibson amp for a total of three 12-inch speakers. It was plenty of wattage to cause both hearing damage and for my bell-bottom pants to flap in the concussion in front of the speakers. I now do like Andre and play through a Spark 40 that has an audio interface with my laptop DAW. What I lack in authentic miked sound I make up for in convenience and variety of tones. ) I think my acoustics sound best miked rather than with a pickup, but that’s another issue.

Sorry for the delay getting to this. I am just getting back to a normal sleep pattern from the bluegrass weekend.
