          Rob, that was really nice, great job!. I really like that lesson too. I have not got into learning it yet (so many great lessons!) But it’s on my list to do. Awesome job and nice video. Did you record that with just a cell phone camera? It looked and sounded great…scott.

              Rob that is great playing and ep148 for me was challenging so i really had to go it slow and easy .. I mean easy as in going along with the tab…I find when i keep it as slow as possible along with the tab and listening to Brian at same time using the soundslice.. and onceI get close enough to what Brians speed,, i increase the tempo to 100% anyway EP148 is one of my favorites i’ll be practicing it too all summer! cheers

                  Real nice. That was some fancy pickin!’ (And with no mistakes either–impressive.)

                  Technical note: The sound was great, but the video didn’t appear as sharp as your previous on EP127, especially when enlarged.

                    awesome job man.. so many of the lessons I want to learn and play and that is one for sure..

                    Don't practice till you get it right, practice till you can't get it wrong.

                      Rob, that was very nicely done. All the elements played great.
                      Particularly, the Attack appealed to me with the Timing.
                      Well done.

                      Play guitar just like you live; don't get bogged down in theory, it's just a tool without feeling.

                                  Thanks everyone!
                                  Scott I did this with my iPad. I set it up on the kitchen table and have at it, lol. Nothing fancy or complicated, the iPad captures both sound and picture.
                                  Larry the only explanation I have is EP127 was done during the day and EP148 at night, otherwise everything else is the same.
                                  Lately everyone has not only kicked up their guitar skills but the quality of the recordings has also improved. Beyond trying to figure out how to video with a backing track I’m satisfied with the iPad for now.
                                  Thanks Again!

                                      Very well done, Rob! Played like a pro. I did not got into this lesson yet, but you definitly caught my interest for it with your playing.

                                              Nice drive on this and really good timing. This lesson has some deceptively difficult stuff, and you played it very cleanly, and true to the original.
