Hello my dearest AMers ♥️ 💖
Do you remember this great lesson?I waited a long time to learn it hoping that in the meantime my speed would improve but in vain🤣🤣(Too little time to practice Im afraid 😪)So I decided to play it in the slow version!!As usual the first version is Brian’s and the second one mine!!!Thanks for watching ❤️💕❤️💞

Well, if you had not mentioned it, I would not have known you were playing the slow version 😁.
As usual your own improvs to this are great Helen. I liked the way you maintained the same theme as the original and put your own swirl to them. Distortion is not something you normally use and it was nice to hear you giving this just a little bit of crunch there. I always struggle to dial in Distortion well so no mean feat on your part there.
Bravo on this Helen 👏 🙌

Like Geoff, I also thought this was the regular speed version ( I can’t imagine how fast the Brian’s version is 😂!).
A great lesson , in a Santana’s style I would say, and you played the first part just brilliantly, in a flawless way and with a great gritty tone, Helen! Then I loved your own original second part, beautifully crafted with so many interesting and original phrases! A special mention also to those rhythmic semi-muted strumming phrases, really very well played.

Hi Helen
A nice vibe going on there, in both recordings, get a bit more bendy and syncopated and it could easily be a Santana feel. Very nice feel, you should try Samba Pa Ti, that is if you haven’t already. Interesting guitar, what is it, a PRS maybe?
Cheers

Awesome playing Helen! Both versions. The first sounded more jazzy but your 2nd version was more Santana-ish. At least that’s what I thought. I can’t believe how fast you played this and can’t imagine what the full speed version is like! 🎸🎶🎼

This is wonderful on so many levels – technique, tone, timing, phrasing, vibe and production are all perfect in my opinion. I love the distortion, which is unusual for you. Your improv is flawless – better than the original, and I love those bends and double-stops. I can hear and feel your skill and confidence growing with each post you share with us. Congratulations, dear Helen! You are like a fine wine that keeps getting better and better over time.
