  Hello friends in this months Challenge I combined some slow blues and some rockabilly, using riffs from Ep 621 and some double stop rockabilly riffs,it was very fun and I learned a lot from doing this, I look forward to doing more if this in the future it really helps taking an idea and using it in other styles,hope yall enjoy!

  That’s a great lesson, and it fits so well in the rockabilly style too. Great point to drive home- with a little creative tinkering we can get extra miles out of every lick we learn!

  Great submission Wayne, I could have listened to more of that. Great rockabilly tone on your guitar.

  Yeh, that was a good one Wayne. Like you, I also learned some new stuff from working on this challenge. In fact, I learn something every time I participate. Considering all the AM fans and members out there, I wonder why more members don’t participate in the challenges. Are they just shy?

  Love it Wayne-sound pro level. Short/sweet to the point. This epitomizes what it means to “Sayin’ a lot when you just pick a little.” It all just rolled off your fingers with gorgeous tone. Curious to know what kind of amp set you you are using. Let me know please. Thanks.

  I really like rockabilly music—you capture the sound of the 1950s perfectly.

  Nice clean playing, sounds very accomplished to my ears, you’re ready to step into a band.

  What a great twist—turning a slow blues lick into a rockabilly sound, Wayne. And it works perfectly. Great explanation earlier. Very helpful.
  
  Take the chance to meet your AM friends on Zoom
  The next Meetup will be July
  There will be a detailed announcement here in the forum
  I look forward to meet you.
