        This one was a little different from Brian’s usual style. I added the drum track.

            bravo, very cool groove, love that triplety thing at 1:26 just before the ending chord

              Really liked the lesson interpretation

              That was a really cool background drum track fitted seamlessly into the piece

                Great job, John, an excellent rendition! More jazzy lessons would be very welcome as far as I am concerned.

                  John, that was great playing. Nice tone on the Strat also. I kinda forgot about that one, I love the jazzy lessons. Would like to see some more….

                    Very well played John! Great groove. I like it a lot better if you do not set such a very bad sound; is of course a matter of taste, please do not be angry with me.
                    In the background I see a lot of amps; Do you collect amps now or do you want to cover your different sound requirements?

                    Play guitar just like you live; don't get bogged down in theory, it's just a tool without feeling.

                      My wife heard me listening to this while she was tidying up the pantry, and she had to stop and listen to it. She loves music with a more jazzy feel, and this had what she likes. I like it too.

                          Hi John, that’s pretty cool, I like that percussion – it works perfectly with this lesson 🙂

                                Nicely done John. Reminds me of Moondance.

                                  Real nice jazzy feel to this. Love the drum track you laid down here. Excellent playing!

                                    John,

                                    Nice playing. Your version reminded me that I had done this as challenge last year. Decided to go back and revisit the source material for this lesson- Kenny Burrell’s Midnight Blue.

                                      Really cool, John! Bob was damn right, that reminds the Midnight Blue. And, what a wall of amps!
                                      Lights.
