        I thought I’d give a run at another BB King inspired improv .. covered from the crossroads tribute .. actually Clapton playing this …

          nicely played

          The melody of the notes is what expresses the art of music . 🙂 6stringerPete

          It really is all about ”melody”. The melody comes from a language from our heart. Our heart is the muscle in music harmony. The melody is the sweetness that it pumps into our musical thoughts on the fretboard. 🙂 6 stringer Pete

            This is very nicely done Mike. Nice tones you are getting out of that guitar too 😎

              You definitely got the EC vibe going on there! Very nice.

                You got the BB-feeling – sounds great.

                  Your grabbing some really cool licks there Mike. What kind of Strat are you using. Nice throaty tone!

                      Hola…..Parts Castor but the body is a Clapton Custom Shop (inside guts removed) replaced with Mojo pickups.

                      Clean amp running thru Katana clean boost, TS10 and delay pedal.

                      You really dialed the BB tone nicely.
                      Great playing.
                      Well done.

                        Nicely done, as always, Mike. You’ve dialed in the BB vibe perfectly. Gorgeous Strat, and sweet tone. Kudos, sir.
