        Hello AM friends.

        Challenge: play an EP in D

        I am playing EP628 note for note.
        Nice lesson and good practice for hybrid picking.

        First track played with the neck pickup.
        Second track played with the bridge pickup.
        Strat with Spark, added a Tremolo.

        Question: any of you have faux nails?

        Hope you like it.

          Masterfully played mon ami. Your delicate touch and mellow tone on this one is perfect for the this kind of music and a joy for the ears! Great “musical” background too 😅!

            Played so well, Andre, and the double tracking tone is so beautiful.

              Well done, Andre. I like that dreamy sound of your guitar. Thank you, Werner

                Hi Andre, really enjoyed this. So mellow and melodic. The hybrid picking fills out the melody nicely, and of course, your playing is precise and skillful.

                    This was really enjoyable to listen to Andrè, as always impeccably played too. Far out video background.

                        Except for the count down, this was excellent. This is one of my favorite melodies that Brian came up with. You played it very well. Thumbs up.

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

                          Flawless, to my ears Andre! I love that melody line. I could imagine a sax coming in at some point…..which I’ve never heard an any post here on the forum. The only person I know with faux nails is the Wolverine, but he had to give up playing guitar since his strings only lasted a few minutes.

                            Sounds marvelous, Andre. This is the first time I ever heard you play anything of Brian’s note for note, and you nailed it for sure. Outstanding performance!

                              Soft and dreamy, with a fitting sound, you master the sound lab.

                              Beautiful.

                                Sweet tone you’ve dialed in Andre, works perfect for this laid back track. Really fine playing!
