        I’ve posted EP417 in the past. Here’s my latest version I just recorded yesterday for this Challenge. Looking forward to checking out all your posts.
        Thanks,
        Larry

          Well I like this one because it’s the same lesson that I picked as well. Great guitar tone and execution.

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

            Hey Larry, so well done! Love this lesson and you played it with style. Excellent tone, tempo, and feel.

                Exquisitely played Larry and at a good tempo too.

                    Fabulous posting Larry, you picked the best of the bunch in D and certainly not the easiest by any stretch. Those first 8 bars will stretch anyone, whatever level but you motored on through it twice, great stuff.

                      Great job, Larry. That’s smoking good. Sliding into those licks with perfect timing.

                        Larry, you rocked it out of the park.
                        Very nice tone.

                          That’s pro level playing there, Larry. I never heard a bad note in there anywhere, even though the licks were seriously complex and played at a fast tempo. Good choice, and well played!

                            Such a great tune! I like how you go back to some of the previously done lessons and have another go, I think I should start doing that. Really well played, Larry! You even added a little bit of your own stuff at the end, great playing!

                              Great rendition, played at the original fast tempo, and I know how hard it is, having showcased it here some years ago (slowed down, of course 😅!).

                              Great timing, very nice gritty tone, brilliant job, Larry!

                                  Yeah Larry! You sound super comfortable with this EP and played it with gusto and confidence. Sounds great.

                                    That had such a cool groove to it, Larry – really nice playing of one of my favourite lessons 👍🎶😎

                                          That’s a great Brian’s lesson and you played that one very well! Great slides and bends.
                                          Love the amount of overdrive and twang.
                                          Sounded full emotions.

                                          More Blues!

                                            You nailed this Larry.
                                            One of your best submissions… so smooth yet high octane. It’s also great to have you back doing the monthly challenge. It’s more fun when you are here! Rock on my friend!
