              Oh my, you sure know how to make a guitar talk the blues. I think you pretty much had everything from the toolkit in that arrangement. All seamlessly done to perfection, thanks for the inspiration. Good to see you back Craig.

                Much respect, that is some mighty fine playing and great expressive bending.

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

                        Top notch blues playing! Worth watching and listening to again and again, not least for the phrases and licks one can try to borrow 😉.

                          Man, that was some exquisite blues!

                          Or the strength of an Oak with roots deep in the ground.

                              Great stuff Craig… blessed to hear you again. This is some ‘soul’ wrenching blues. Well done.
