This is another slow blues backing track – D Minor Blues Backing Track | Guitar Jam by Quist.
I’m learning a lot playing these slow blues. I still need to work on my timing, learning more licks, my technique, etc.

Sounding great Joe. Melodic, leaving space, sweet bends, harmonics and trills so you’re definitely spicing your solos up with lots of cool guitaristic elements. Really enjoyed it. All the best! 😎🎸😎

Joe
You are demonstrating taste, restraint and patience while creating a sultry and melodic blues solo. Great use of ‘space’ and ‘blue’ notes. I rarely offer unsolicited advice to anybody on this thread (but I feel comfortable enough with you) to suggest maybe trying using some chords or rhythm chops in the solo. It adds some texture. Brian has a recent lesson on this very thing suggesting “this is what is missing from our solos.” Just a thought. Well done my friend. Seeing lots of growth in your lead play.John

I appreciate the suggestion John…which lesson are you talking about? I’ll take a look. I’ve found most of Brian’s lessons are too advanced for me but I am planning on doing one for the next challenge. I’m thinking of doing EP577 Clapton-esque. It looks like something I can handle. I also find that I need to focus on one thing, like Pentatonics, in order for it to sink in. Next I would like to learn how to mix in some chords or triads to spice things up. Thanks John.

Sounds great Joe and you are improving all the time.
Adding in chords or rhythm chops like John suggested are a great idea. Throwing in something a little different like that really catches the ear and it is how we develop our own unique playing signatures or style if you like.
