              That sounded great to me Ruediger. You’ve got a good vibrato…something I still need to work on myself.

                        Bluesy rendition with control and touch. Great work.

                              Very nice rendition Rüdiger, great playing for the original part but I liked even more your own improvisation, really musical and enjoyable to listen to! A very fine debut performance for the challenges.

                                  You know how to make a Strat sing! That was some powerful stuff — all over the neck, too. Well done.

                                    Welcome to the challenges, that was a fine fretboard workout, lots of great licks in this one your own ideas fit in seamlessly.

                                        Excellent rendition Ruediger, but slow is a relative term – sounded pretty fast to me.

                                          Oh yes! What a spectacular piece of playing to announce your arrival. Great use of the solo spots where the band stopped but you filled the whole performance with some very tasty, bluesy playing.
