        Not perfect, but fun to play!

              Sounds great to me, Duane: flawless picking and timing for a brilliant rendition. Great work!

                That was so cool! I have gotta try that lesson. Nice playin’. You were rippin’ it up!

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

                    Thank you and everyone else for your kind comments. This is a great lesson from Brian. Among other things, it forced me to work on my hybrid picking which is shaky at best. I always try to take what Brian is teaching and apply it to create one or two licks of my own. That is what makes this platform really fun for me.

                    I heard some Ernest Tubb in there. So good. Thanks for posting.

                    The melody of the notes is what expresses the art of music . 🙂 6stringerPete

                    It really is all about ”melody”. The melody comes from a language from our heart. Our heart is the muscle in music harmony. The melody is the sweetness that it pumps into our musical thoughts on the fretboard. 🙂 6 stringer Pete

                      Nicely played and at a pretty speedy tempo too!

                              Nicely played Duane. That ain’t no easy part. Not sure what perfect is but you pretty much nailed it. Thanks for sharing.
