          This is honestly so good, Wayne. Not that I’ve heard every piece you’ve submitted but this is my favourite by a long shot. You really made it your own with some impressive playing. My only complaint is that it didn’t last longer. Nicely done

                  Actually, this is longer than Wayne usually posts, so I’d say it’s perfect. Improv city is a nice place to be. Very smooth gliding across those frets and the phrasing was quite good.

                  Root note patterns >>> CAGED shapes >>> TRIAD'S. Just put in the work and watch your guitar skills soar.

                      One of your best Wayne. I agree, a fantastic lesson and you’ve nailed it with lots of expression and kudos on your impro. You kept the same feel and melodies woven throughout. Well played. All the best! 😎🎸😎

                                  I agree with Barry Wayne. This is one of the best I have heard from you.

                                  Very beautifully played 👌

                                          I actually watched this again Wayne and often I appreciate thing more on second listening. This sounded really sweet is all I have to say. One thing I noticed is you have a great mastery of vibrato when playing the end of phrases – not an easy skill to obtain and one I still struggle with a little.

                                          Great playing Wayne -:)

                                        Well played, Lefty Wayne. Great timing and bends. The new Gretsch sounds so nice.
