            Hey Ale,
            awesome!!!!!
            The piece is very nice. You’ve made something own out of it.
            Great add-ons. Also the timing was kept very uniformly.
            I was totally happy about your contribution. Like more so.

            greeting

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

                    That was awesome! I love the fact that you were combining licks from other lessons and other things you know. You’re really doing it! Congrats. Do you care if I share this one on Facebook?

                          Very nice fingerstyle playing Ale. You’ve integrated the stolen licks seamlessly into the tune. Great stuff.

                            That sounds great! I don’t know the original lessons but that sounded like a real, living tune, some parts remind me of Steven Stills.

                                        Great playing on this, Ale! You keep getting better and better and are always in the groove. It was your earlier playing of EP142 that convinced me to try fingerstyle playing.
