        Whew, first thing I have submitted on an Acoustic and let me tell you I have a great appreciation for all you guys and gals who regularly play these. Even though my guitar plays easily it’s not what I am used to. A few flubs here and there but I feel like I have had a real workout.

              Wonderful sounding. I haven’t heard this lesson before, I may have to check it out. In any case, your rendition was excellent and did have that Willie flair.

                  Beautiful, Clarke. Makes me want to revisit the lesson as well, even tempts me to dust off the acoustic.

                      Beautifully played Clarke, with spot-on timing, great tone complete with pull-offs and grace notes, I don’t think you could have played it any better.

                        Great played Clarke; you made your acoustic guitars sound great and played beautifully and soulfully.

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

                          Hi Clarke,
                          With no Vid, I thought it must be Brian playing. I am working on this at the moment and after about 2 hours only just got the first part down.
                          Roughly how long did it take you to get the whole melody sounding so sweet?
                          Loved it, keep it up Brian, sorry Clarke.

                            Sounds authentic Clarke.

                              Beautiful playing Clarke! You have that acoustic down pat already! Some really nice Willy sounds in there!….Sal

                                Nicely played Clarke. Sounds like you haven’t lost your acoustic touch…it sounded great!

                                      Michael J – I got the melody down fairly quickly BUT it took a week or so to get the timing down.

                                      James B – My wife says you are correct on both accounts – hair is definitely Silver and she has always claimed I’m a little Stranger than most -)

                                      Thanks everyone for the nice comments.
