        I have spent a lot of time on this lesson over the last month. Not just on trying to learn the lesson, which was a challenge for me, but on trying to improve the audio quality of my recordings. I purchased a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 audio interface that I used for the first time on this recording. I edited the audio on Garageband and then put the video together with iMovie. I have a lot to learn about this process, but I hope to get better audio and video quality in the future.

        This was a very challenging lesson for me because I find blues phrasing and accurate bending to be difficult. I felt like I made some progress on both with this lesson. I added some of my own improv on the second and third pass.

            Nice playing! Bends are sounding good and that Strat is super awesome! Thrill of playin guitar is not gone with this one. 😉

            It's all about the journey, not the destination.

                  Flawlessly played, Jeff! And loved also your own composition in the 2nd and 3d cycles! Very good audio and video quality too, the video/audio sync is perfect and I like the clean tone on your Strat with the bridge pickup. Excellent job.

                    Your hard work shows, Jeff. I like your bridge tone as well. The phasing in your added parts was very good.

                      Well played Jeff. Your phrasing is right in the pocket, and you’ve got a really good feel going on. Your improv. fit very nicely with the track, and everything was very musical and bluesy.

                          Well played, Jeff. Picking and recording quality are excellent. Timing and bends are spot on.

                            Really nice Jeff! I picked up some nice BB phrasing in your original section that fit right in. Great recording work with the new gear too. 👌
