The melody and accompaniment complement each other beautifully. A fine composition.

Well, I have to say that any struggle you had limited to two chords didn’t show in your performance at all, Ruediger – this was a really fine composition and a lovely balance between the rhythm and melody 👏👏 Nicely done – Mark 👍🎶😎

You’ve produced a lovely composition, Ruedigger. I understand the feeling that something is missing when playing over two chords, but you’ve obviously overcome the expectation that we have become used to: this piece sounds complete, as well as melodic and interesting.

Brilliant!

Great bluesy acoustic lead improvisation and rhythm.

That was great Ruediger. It reminded me of Horse With No Name by America.

It is challenging to limit yourself to two chords but that was the challenge given to us. I think it has its place every now and then and your piece fitted the challenge perfectly.

Our videos are very similar, looks like you paid for Powerdirector. What do you think of it? I find it very time consuming to work out how to use it but it does a good job.

Nice two chord jam , you filled the space well and kept the listener engaged,
Sometimes limitations spark the creativity
Well played.

Well played, Ruediger. A lot of these challenges will take us out of our comfort zones but if you persevere it will make you a better guitarist.

Catchy melodies, nice groove!

Love the acoustic duo sound Ruediger. Well played, and some nice pentatonic licks in there.

Take two chords, lay them down in a rhythm track, and then play along with it and have fun. That’s what you seem to be doing here, Rüdiger. I can assure you that I’ve had fun, too.

Great choice Ruediger. Love the arrangement. You perform this nicely and the soloing is sweet. You left me wanting more. I heard Horse With No Name right away. Very cool.

Very nice interesting two chord rhythm (Ah, yes! Horse with No Name comes to mind!) and beautiful melody on top. Very well done, Ruediger! Also, great job on your video editing 👍

Well played, Ruediger – I think that was exactly the goal of this challenge. It might seem challenging to limit yourself to just two chords, but I can think of lots of long 2-chord improv jams by the Allman Bros, Grateful Dead, and others that are truly inspirational.

Like Joe it reminds me of America.
Excellent melody, very smooth.

Despite the limitation you found many ideas to play over the two chords. Nice job Ruediger!

Delightful composition. One would never know it was just 2 chords. That’s because the topping was so good.

Ruediger, you can do a lot with a little. Nice job here! Pap
