        Good afternoon all,

        Here is my submission for the December challenge… I was inspired by Quist’s EP444 slow minor blues backing track… and i was inspired to play a lead inspired by the gospel verse Matthew 28:20… “Surely I am with you, always until the end of the age”….

        Hope you like it…

          Nice atmospheric lead hitting all the chord tones.

                  I thought we were going to hear you sing those bible verses. I just had to imagine it. That’s actually a very good idea for improvising if you are singing it in your head.

                  Go slow and practice correct technique, and your abilities will dramatically improve.

                    Really nice. Great timing and making the most out of a small collection of notes.

                          This gentle submission is just what I needed on this damp and dull morning, before venturing out for a walk 🚶🏼🤓! Nicely performed, Rich – well done! – Mark 👍🎶😎

                            Hi Rich, I used 444 also… I commented on a couple other post how this track lets the soloist really shine. Each of us sounds different… tone, phrasing, and overall feel are varied across the board. Nice playing, and great to hear your own take on the track.
