        Hey AM members,
        here’s my contribution for the monthly challenge, I’ve limited it to exactly what was asked, a blues in C with a variety of triads.
        My apologies for the poor image quality.
        When making this entry I saw that this was already my 13th entry, so I quickly requested my T-shirt which I will wear with pride.

                        That’s pretty cool, Carpa. I like hearing people play along with a drum track. Sounds great!

                          Nice playing and demonstration of different chord voicing with great licks. I particularly like the turn around chords near the end at 1:15.

                                A well thought out and structured composition Carpa. Well played and loved the way you kept the melodic motif throughout and how you moved smoothly up and down the neck. Congratulations on No. 13, your lucky number. All the best!

                                  Well played – for me the key of C isn’t a Blues Key but you made it. Well done. Congrats to your 13th entry.

                                    Well done on obtaining the T-shirt. It’s often said the the number 13 is unlucky but you certainly disproved that with this great performance.

                                      Way to work those triads, Carpa. When did Brian start dispensing orange Challenge Champion sweatshirts?

I thought you were going Jimi Hendrix and Red House on us for the intro. Take a listen. I think you can go there and have fun! Loved your arpeggios. Give us some Beatles “diminished” sound when you repeat the chord. For instance, drop the bass line note a half step and keep going. I love your passion for playing and music Carpa. Well done. Bob
