Hi members
Here’s our common project on Brian’s beautiful duet lesson. It was fun, we both enjoyed it.
JoLa, thank you for your awsome cooperation and for doing the video editing.
DenisePS: Due to the time difference between Las Vegas and Switzerland, the lead is a bit ahead of the rhythm, lol.
More Blues!

Impressive. I assume you recorded JoLa’s rhythm then Denise tracked the lead while listening to JoLa’s part, then JoLa mixed it ??? Or did you do this in real time together? Real nice job all around. JoLa, I’m working on that right hand percussion but for me it’s like chewing gum and walking – going to need some work. Does Brain have any videos addressing right hand percussion? Keep up the good work.

You got it, Fred, we did exactly that 🙂
Does Brain have any videos addressing right hand percussion?
He sure does! My all time favorite is EP187 but you also have EP283, EP332, EP372, and the one we did with Denise here, EP353. The percussive technique seems so hard at first but then once you get it, it becomes automatic, like riding a bicycle! Brian explains the technique in EP353 pretty well.

Absolutely fantastic JoLa and Denise. This is what it’s ultimately about, playing music together. You’ve both chosen a beautiful lesson for your first of hopefully many more duets to come. I hope this inspires others to collaborate together (Craig and Andre, the Yinzer Crew etc). Great playing. All the best!

Great collaboration Jola and Denise. Very nice production.

Excellent job in all respects. I wonder if it would be possible for you to trade off so that Jola plays the rhythm for a while, then Denise plays the rhythm for a while. In other words, so each of you could have a turn at the solo part.

Hopefully this is just the beginning, ladies! You showed a great teamwork; very harmonious and soulful.
You are in a really good mood!
You operated this track the way it should be operated.
Big thumbs up!Play guitar just like you live; don't get bogged down in theory, it's just a tool without feeling.

JoLa & Denise! Denise & JoLa! I so agree with John: The 3rd Rock from da sun needs way more of this musical togetherness! Yinz rocked it!!! I love Denise’s comment about how she was “slightly ahead” on some parts because of your 9 hour time difference! LOL!! I didn’t notice it. Beautiful arrangement you two! We all here at AM need to take your lead and do more of this – especially in this COVID WORLD! JoLa, your rhythm was ROCK SOLID! That percussive playing is so solid! And on one of your 35 favorite gitfiddles, right??? Very impressive playing for sure! Denise, your playing – especially lead – has progressed tremendously since May! Your bends and slides have come such a long way! And James is right – that gitfiddle is beautiful!! Can we please see more of da J & D Team????
Happy Thanksgiving! Bobby Ut
P.S. Like Steve said, would love to see Yinz “trade twos or fours”. Take turns on rhythm and lead.
Again, this is wonderful to see AM peeps team together and make incredible music!!!Bob U. (aka Bobby Ut)

Very well performed and produced! I got an quick appreciation for how difficult the process was when I decided to do double guitars for the November challenge. If you ever need a drum track for a ‘metronome’ let me know. I started playing drums over 50 years ago.
Perfect vision is when 2020 is hindsight!

OMG Denise and JoLa,
That was tremendous. You both complimented each other nicely. Rhythm and lead part were way in sync. Love the tone and precision with which you both played. You both brought a huge smile to my face. Rock and Roll Sistas. thanks for sharing and inspiring.John

No idea why I woke at 03:30 im assuming it was because I needed to hear this..
Collaborations are great fun, you both handled it well.
Didnt notice any speed difference due to time differences, then again maybe the time difference to Scotland from each of you has pulled it together.
“Time Zone” would be a fitting name for your duo.
Congrats on a great 1st collaboration...Billy..

Thank you so much for all your nice comments about our duet. It’s been a very motivating experience!
And it was an honor for me to have JoLa as my duet partner!
I would love to do and see more of such cooperations.

Transatlantic cooperation at its very best!
That was so good.
Jola, you’re a master of the percussive rhythm style.
Denise, sweet lead tone especially on those bends and lots of fluid moves up an down the neck. -

Thank you everyone for the supportive comments! It was a great pleasure to learn and virtually play together with Denise – thank you Denise for being such a good sport 🙂 What Steve and Bob suggested is actually a good idea, we should do that next time, trade four’s or something like that 🙂
I also like seeing AM peeps getting together for projects, it is fun to watch!🎸JoLa
