        I saw charjo playing this one and it inspired me to learn it!

        A fast paced piece at 165bpm!!! Great fun to play and the wife really liked it too 😀

        Perhaps a few of the notes could have been cleaner, but overall, I feel this one shows real progress in my playing ability; there’s no way I could have played this so well a couple of years ago!

          Sounds great. Didn’t take you long to get it under your fingers.

                That was right on the money! The bends in this one can be challenging but yours are perfect. Great tone and tempo as usual. Now you are inspiring us to try these gems from the past. 🎸🙂

                  Excellent work wpb. That tempo is holding me back on this one. You have clearly arrived as a guitarist. Well done.

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

                        I could feel the stage burning! Nicely done: smooth, fluid and melting HOT!

                          Scorching, Mr. Blues! Man, you killed it! Everything about this was good. Awesome tone out of the guitar also.
