        First, rough attempt on this lesson.

        (Has a few aborted practice, improv licks at end. I need to go back and relearn all my licks in A before I try this again.)

          You Have My Respect.
          You dare to quite heavy pieces.
          Again you show how fast you are with your fingers. Great Sound.

          Best Regards

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

            Another one, that sounded great! You used the right tone for the tune. I could tell you were into it, you made it look as easy as 123!

                  Hi Larry, way to crank this out your fingers are flying. Great tone on the strat, the only thing I would say is turn up the backing track a bit to create more of a dynamic between you and the band. Great work!

                      Thanks, everybody for your comments. This piece needs a lot more serious work by me. I’ll try and submit a better version when I get it down better.

                      Thanks, Scott, for your advice on the backing track. I could barely hear it even myself when playing, and sometimes not at all. I lot this track a lot, though, especially for its tempo and helping me to better learn how to insert my own licks and maybe improvise eventually. I’ll definitely turn the backing track up. I got the tone setting on the guitar from Brian’s suggestion in the lesson. I got the new Vox amp, and I love it so far because it only has five knobs and I actually understand what the knobs mean. The were no foot pedals involved, only the amp. Brian always mentions the pedals he’s using in his lessons, but I don’t know what the heck he’s talking about.

                      Great tone. I enjoyed listening to it.
