          Awesome work Helen. You knew you did great on this one. I love 12 fret guitars, that’s a very nice sounding one and it looks like it plays well. Loved your lead part.

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

            Very nice Helen and you are doing great with the two guitar recording. Did you use the ideas in suggested for synching two tracks or some other approach?

            I will have to give this lesson an ear, not that I do the accoustic stuff but you piqued my curiosity 😉

              Great blending both the lead and rhythm. Your tone is dynamic, the lead is tasty and I’ kudos for even attempting that percussive fingerpicking slap back rhythm. You play that rhythm with confidence. Keep it up. I am sure you had a ball doing this. I think you found your new style. Love it!🎸❤️🎻🤘

                Very original and melodic interpretation of this piece, Helen! Liked very much your own original phrases in the lead part, and great and solid rendition in the rhythm part!

                I know very well this lesson because I played and showcased in 2021 with Garry. In that case we were two and we played just verbatim the lesson: in consequence the job was just much easier!

                Kudos for your duet with your self, great job and very enjoyable to listen to!

                  I thought it was great Helen. The percussive rhythm was spot on. And your lead flowed so smoothly I enjoyed it very much.

                    This is excellent! Your technique just keeps getting better and better all the time! Your lead improvisation is so clean and articulate, with beautiful, melodic phrasing. The tone you used works very well with this lesson. This is highly enjoyable and really impressive! Well-done, my friend!
