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

          Love that muted sound! It’s not timed the same way as Brian did it (not a typical 12 bar blues if I’m not mistaken) but it’s more interesting because of it!

            Yup, agree, work on timing, but, overall good job. Doesn’t take long to get there. I try and practice with a metronome when I can. I just started learning arpeggios, which is kind of scale, and play up and down the neck with the metronome.
            I found a free one for my iPhone, works great..

            What eventually happens, is, it becomes second nature. It’s a “sense” that you develop, almost like learning to ride a bicycle, in a way. Once you learn, you have it.

            Don't practice till you get it right, practice till you can't get it wrong.

                Hey Wilfried,

                Wow a very nice posting with I think all aspects of the challenge that Bryce set, incorporating 12 bar into the lesson tune. I really enjoyed the last 30 seconds as that was really great movement leading to the end and I didn’t know what was coming next, great improvisation.

                Cheers Bri

                    Absolutely lovely tone. Individually, your licks were really fine, but you added quite a few extra bars into it, and I found myself wondering why. Overall, very fine playing.

                        Hi Wilfried,

                        Nice job, really like how you made that your own.

                        And man that guitar sounds incredible, have to admit I got a bit of gear drool looking at your axe 😉

                        Cheers,

                        Mick

                          Hi Mick,
                          I had the guitar actually, just as a test concerned. Then I liked the guitar very much.
                          I had doubts because she is heavier than for example a Strat. It is a very different type of guitar.

                                    Love the sound of that guitar, great tone! I notice you switched up the timing and added extra bars, very cool. I always like it when someone takes the same old 12 bar blues and mixes things up a bit. You did a great job on this.

                                                Your Version was incredibly bluesy. I have totally liked. Yes, I’m going to try something it is. Looking but not like. Who are your role models.
                                                I am looking forward to your next performances.
