EP127 Challenge

[Chris T]

Well here is my “attempt”. I found this hard to get the bends on an acoustic and generally challenging all round. I’ve really enjoyed watching everyone’s posts, well done to us all!

Hey Chris, that was just the upper class! 🙂
I am totally impressed. The song on a guitar? Awesome.

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

That was no attempt Chris! You got it. It is difficult to bend on acoustics but you did a good job. Keep them coming!

I actually like the acoustic version everybody plays.. good job.. keep it up!

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

Hi Chris,

As has been already said, its not easy to pull this off on an acoustic so well done a great version

Cheers,

Hey Chris, I think you did a really good job with this one. I found it was really easy to rush this one. You found the perfect tempo and just sat on it. Great job!

Hi Chris,
Nice job. It is a challenging piece with the timing, muting, bending and changing hand positions but you are well on your way to picking up a guitar and throwing down a 12 bar. Most will be easier than this one.

Hi Chris,

Great playing and you’re closet to the actual lesson timing, I find it’s harder to stay at a slower tempo. You played great hitting bends and movements and the mahogany Martin sounds ideal for blues acoustic.

So you’re all set up for more postings and they really put some focus and discipline into practice; also a great thig to keep to re-visit and compare your progress.

Cheers Bri

Very smooth Chris. You did an excellent job of playing through this and staying on tempo. I only notice you drop the beat in one spot (at 1:10), which is really good, and hard to do. Thanks for sharing.

[Don D.]

That was nice, mellow, far better than what I expected because you’d said “attempt”; you played it.
