        Hi everyone,

        This has been sat in my favourites for at least a couple of years.

        I was mainly using it for practice and it ended up being one of those you keep coming back to every few months to drill for a while and then forget again.

        If you’re looking for a cool and fun way to practice your rhythm and lead, then this might be the lesson you’re looking for.

        Hope you enjoy and thanks for watching.

        Liam.

          Nicely done. Liam. Tone, clarity, accuracy, articulation and bends are all spot-on. You have mastered this lesson. That appears to be a beautiful SG, and you seem to have an impressive collection in the background. Cheers!

              Not familiar with this one Liam but definitely a cool lesson on rhythm and lead. You nailed it for sure and made an excellent choice of guitar on this one (Angus agrees as well! 😉). All the best! 😎🎸😎

                Spot on, articulate playing. Sounds so good. Liam.. This will be a good one for rhythm and lead practice to try.

                  Very fun lesson, it sounds like an old Elvis’ rock&roll ballad song. Very well played in a finely articulated way on your SG Liam. You made me want to grab my guitar and learn to play it!

                        Well played, Liam. There are some gems in those first 100 EP’s.
                        Every time I see a member play an SG, I want one.

                          Excellente Liamm-
                          Great lesson and you covered it nicely. It’s got that Keif vibe to it. Love your SG! P90s. Great tone. I just bought an older Gibson J45. Love. Keep on rockin’ my frirend. Happy holidays.

                            Great work Liam 👍. As i am sure you know , I always enjoy listening to you

                            This one of Brian’s “Golden Oldies” , I haven’t heard before. Brian’s newer lessons are so good , I tend to forget about the older ones 🤔

                              Looks like all that work paid off Liam. I haven’t seen that lesson yet.

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