        I am a 49 year old adult beginner from India, and recently joined the Premium Members. I have been playing 6 months now, tried myself out with EP282, Dark Solo in Blues. Just recording once points my shortcomings in term of technique, timing, dynamics and nuances, but at least it was an honest effort. Having spent quite some amount of time and money randomly, I think I have found the right place …. Brian, you speak through the guitar what I want to say. Posting a link to my effort, looking forward to participate in the monthly challenge too. https://youtu.be/Binq5tcnWuE

                                              Hi Sumanto, For someone who has only played six months you have actually done a pretty nice job on this one. Your timing is great and you tie in the melody in with the background very seamlessly – very pleasant to listen to.

                                              Keep it going.
