For this month’s challenge, we were to try to use space/room to try to focus on emotion rather than filling every beat with notes.
I’ll bet you thought I was going to play a slow blues, didn’t you?! 😏🤪 Well, I heard Active Melody member Wayne Nunez’ version of this a couple weeks ago and it sounded so good I thought I’d give it a try for the challenge…Eric Clapton style string bends and playing with emotion – Guitar Lesson EP577.
First I play Brian’s lesson and then my composition. Brian mainly used the C shape Major Pentatonic pattern whereas I mostly used the G and E shape patterns in my comp. The background video is from a concert by Eric Clapton & Friends – Live in Birmingham 1986.
I used my:
Fender Stratocaster Standard
Spark 40 Amp
Logic Pro 12
GoPro Hero 12
Final Cut Pro 12Joe
The sight of a touch, or the scent of a sound,
Or the strength of an Oak with roots deep in the ground.

That lesson is a great way to learn to make “statements” with single notes. I remember that I worked on the lesson but found it too difficult with the phrasing and timing.
You played very well and mastered all the timing and phrasing. Your own comp went smoothly into Brian’s.
I like the EC video in the background.More Blues!

Wow, sharing the stage with Eric Clapton. That really inspired you, Joe. Such beautiful and soulful playing. You definitely pulled it off.
Take the chance to meet your AM friends on Zoom.
The next Meetup will take place in OctoberThere will be a detailed announcement here in the forum a few weeks before.
I look forward to meet you.
