April 2022 Challenge Response

Sorry about late post and this was actually something I did a while ago but thought it was relevant to post topic as it is major blues with licks from both major and minor scales. This is not improvised. It is solo that I downloaded from another site. Hope you enjoy

[AndréM]

Nice SG

Live on planet Earth ? You got the blues.

Good submission Mark. Good composition and a great tone.

[Michael L]

Hey Mark, it might not have been your own composition, but you played it very well. Great feel and tone to your playing.

[Scott M]

Some tasty slow blues with just the right amount of space between your licks, great tone on your SG. Well played Marc!

Quite interesting phrasing in that one, Marc. I can see why you wanted to learn it. And you played it well.

[Phil B]

Well played and welcome to the challenges.

Nice to see you playing, Marc. Cool blues and great tone from that SG. I’m always intrigued by SG’s but every time I pick one up the neck seems longer than my arm.

Thanks. Haha, Yep the neck takes some getting used to. Not as noticeable when you are sitting versus standing for some reason but you get used to it.

[Tom D]

Welcome Marc. Awesome Key of D blues. Many cool blues phrases that you played well. Nice guitar and shirt too.

Cheers, Tom

[Reuben B]

Welcome to the challenges, Marc. Your blues lead sounds great. Your composition or not, it makes you feel good, to listen to. I hope we hear more soon.

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.

there some very nice voicing in your solo, sometime clear, sometime a little bit twisted: contrasted and soulfull, it tells a story.

Where does the white go when snow melts?

[Rich F]

Hi Marc,

That was brilliant! Extremely well done on your debut submission!

I love slow blues, and I love your performance… could you tell me where I could find this lesson online, and where I could get the backing track? I would like to try to emulate you, my friend!

Congratulations again on such a great post… looking forward to hearing more cool playing from you! 😎🎸

[Anonymous]

Thanks Rich. Much appreciated.
I will send you friend request and then PM you some info if you are interested.
Don’t want to do advert for something else on Brian’s chat.

[Garry]

Awesome playing Marc. Cool blues/rock licks and smooth fretboard coverage. Nice looking Gibson there too. All the best! 🥸🎸🥸

[Don Patton jr]

Marc
Some really play and licks from your SG, in the key of D! Nice bluesy vibe to this submission
Welcome to the monthly challenge! 👍

[WBlues]

You’ve definitely captured the slow blues. I like your SG and the sound.

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