  Here’s an old one from 2020 that I thought I had pretty good spacing between notes on (Improv to EP327 backing track). Couldn’t come up with anything better for this Challenge.
  Thanks,
  Larry

  Well done Larry! Nice fast runs, plenty of rest, cool, bends in this 60’s feel improv. Like the tone you got on this also.

  Awesome playing and tone. Definitely a good use of space. And it definitely had a 60’s vibe.

  Lots to like here Larry. The chord stabs set the scene for the fast runs with plenty of space for that bass in the background. All played with that killer tone.

  Very SRV sounding! Great playing with some fantastic fast licks. What a nasty tone.
  
  More Blues!

  Your post has some great ideas. The contrast between the backing track and the guitar is extraordinary—but it works!
  
  Thank you very much, Werner

  That gives new meaning to the term “super slow blues”. Most entertaining, well played SciFi!

  Another great submission. Is it a full moon or what?
  
  Go slow and practice correct technique, and your abilities will dramatically improve.

  It’s great that you dug through your old stuff, Larry, and what you found fits this challenge perfectly.
  I like how you let your guitar cry here, and the space in between makes the whole thing even more impressive.
  
  Take the chance to meet your AM friends on Zoom.
  The next Meetup will take place in October
  
  There will be a detailed announcement here in the forum a few weeks before.
  
  I look forward to meet you.
  Manfred
