        Here is a lesson I put together using the concept of a simple motif and expanding it to create a complete solo

          Well done again Barry. Super easy to understand and apply right away.

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

            Thanks glad you liked it – just an idea I was working on. Thinking about what I want to do next

                  Thanks Joe – I have some more ideas to work on but I smashed my fretting hand index and won’t be able to play for a week or two now. Stay tuned for more in the future
