          This is really a fun one lesson to play, Carpa. And there is much fun in your playing and a whole lot of skill. You play that so well. Top notch. Accurate tones and so much feeling. Marvelous!

          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.

                          Such a nice thick tone from your Les Paul, very smooth playing sounded fantastic! I believe you nailed that lesson!

                          Live on planet Earth ? You got the blues.

                                      This was an excellent piece of guitar work, done with all the little touches, bends and trills that give this piece its character. Lots of finesse. Not rushed. Great tone. You also get extra points for playing standing up.

                                        Very well and accurately played with a great gritty tone! I love that lesson, too😃. Great 1/4 bends.
                                        Bravo for playing standing.
                                        Happy new year!
