        Been working on this one on and off for about a month or so now. Was playing through it tonight and thought I would put a video out there. I think this is about as good as this one is going to get for me at this time.

          Your playing is so smooth and expressive, Dave, I could listen to this all day. And you’re right, it can’t get much better, it sounded just perfect to me.

                Dave, you can’t be playing that good on a Squier Strat hahahaha
                Superb stuff man, I’m a big fan of your playing whether it’s a lesson or one of the songs you showcase, polished yeah that’s the word I’m looking for kiddo, A highly polished guitarist.

                    Great post Dave, you can’t really be playing that good without playing in public. People will be pleased to pay good money to see that level of guitar. Keep them coming…..

                      Sometimes “as good as it gets” is “doesn’t get any better”. That sounded great Dave. You have excellent right hand technique that keeps the rhythm flowing flawlessly and your right hands manipulates the fretboard like a master. Nicely done.

                        Dave, that was top class. Timing, attack and dynamics are perfect.
                        You really have music in your blood. Your work was worth it.

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

                            Dave my buddy that is wonderful playing. I too could listen to this all day but you have made me want to learn this as well. You make that Squire sound great! Very expressive playing. Thanks for sharing.

                              Not seen this lesson yet but that sounded very polished to me. From the other comments above that seems to be your standard – polished. Great work.

                                Fantastic playing, Dave. Clear sailing all the way through. Enjoyed your embellishments, also. What a joy it must be to know you have reached this level, and will always sound at least this good (perfect on this).

                                    That was spot on, and your added verse was in the same groove too. Great relaxed playing as usual!

                                      Nice one, Dave. I don’t think it would be possible to improve on that at all. And I’m glad to hear that I’m not the only one who sometimes spends a month perfecting a lesson.

                                          Such a great melody Brian put together. Your version flows so nicely. You could sit in with the’Funk Brothers’. The famous Motown studio band.

                                              Dave my good friend,
                                              That was so smooth.
                                              Like i told you before your playing is so good.
                                              You are not getting there Bud, you are there.
                                              Cant wait to work with you again.
                                              Keep up the good work.

                                                  I love the EP330 lesson and your version sounds super great. I haven’t tried to play it yet, but I will. You have the set the bar pretty high! Excellent work. Tone and smoothness is top notch.
