        This weekend we, the European AM chapter, aka Juxi, Manfred, Werner and myself met at my place in order to see each other and make music together again. Of course, that was a great opportunity to work on something we would like to improve. For me, that was singing while playing guitar and improvising solos (not in this video).
        Many thanks to my fantastic band, Aurelia behind the camera and the good spirit Pemmy.

          Great classic from CCR and Tina Turner.
          Very nice playing all of you.
          Great fun.

              Very cool, guys! I think you’re ready for the Big Stage. Have you applied for a spot at Glastonbury yet? I wish I had a standup bass, but I’d have to buy a bigger vehicle to carry it.

                  You’ve improved your guitar playing tremendously. I’m sure more videos from our weekend will be posted. It’ll be a treat to watch them. And your singing skills really surprised us all in a good way. It was a great weekend. A big thank you to you and your girlfriend as well.

                      “Proud Tremelow”—that should be the title! You did a great job. And since I was there, I can say that it wasn’t really that much of a struggle at all. You actually handled it really well right from the start.
                      But it was also a great jam weekend, and I think that in that wonderful atmosphere, the things we normally struggle with came much more easily to all of us.
                      Thanks again to you, Kevin, and your girlfriend for your wonderful hospitality.

                      Take the chance to meet your AM friends on Zoom.
                      The next Meetup will take place in October/November

                      There will be a detailed announcement here in the forum a few weeks before.

                      I look forward to meet you.

                        Love this song, great vibe with the band and the way you all played this arrangement. The cigar box interlude was a real treat.

                          Long live the AM Ensemble. Another fantastic job. It was good to see Juxi’s legs with a solid foundation. Werner, could you get any cooler? Manfred way to hold down the groove. Trem, kudos to you for the vocals and rhythm. Missed opportunity for a blistering solo.

                                That stand up bass is pretty cool. I like the fact that you guys have the chance to get together and work on songs like this. Fun times and lots of memories.

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

                                    Hey Trem, you guys look like this was so much fun! Thanks for sharing it with us. Love the new addition of Werner’s slide on that cigar box. Great vibe.

                                      Just incredible, another excellent performance from all of you! The struggle only showed in the title, you guys are great musicians. But wait … did Juxi travel with the double bass?????? Wouldn’t he need a truck to haul it? 😯
