  Good day all,
  
  Hope you are all well.
  
  Here is my submission for the March challenge…. I kept it simple and stayed in the C major pentatonic scale… I enjoyed playing this…

  Hey Rich – great stuff! Loved the lines and space between ideas. Good bends. My only advice if I may (I’ll wait 10 seconds) . . . Ok, you did not object! LOL. When using the Major pentatonic vibe/sound/approach: Just be careful when the track goes to the IV & V. Go minor then – IMHO!

  As Brian says, the Pentatonic Scale is always a good choice, Rich.
  And you prove that here. You have found the right tones and also the necessary space in between.
  
  Take the chance to meet your AM friends on Zoom
  The next Meetup is expected to take place in November 2025
  
  There will be a detailed announcement here in the forum in good time.
  
  I look forward to meet you.

  Well done… sometime audio suits the audience better. I love it. Your performance is balanced and melodic. I like the added percussion. Always resolving on the target note. Way to go.

  Hi Rich, your phrasing is really taking shape on this. You’re building up your musical vocabulary with some nice ideas. The major pentatonic is a solid choice. Well done!
