  I put together a backing track and composed a rhythm part in the style of Steve Cropper using ideas I took from ML 147. There are some useful ideas in that lesson. Hope you enjoy it

  I had to go back and look at ML147, but I see what you did there. That was some buttery smooth playing Barry.
  
  Root note patterns >>> CAGED shapes >>> TRIAD'S. Just put in the work and watch your guitar skills soar.

    A lot of good ideas in ML 147 that can be applied to different styles of music. I just moved them around a bit.

  I like how took ideas from Brian and made your own rhythm track. I like these double stops and the 6/8 vibe.
  Well played with a sweet clean tone.
  
  More Blues!
