        Hi AMers,

        Here’s my Sunday jam with EP356. Having lots of fun with my newly arrived Yamaha THR10 amp, great little toy! Recorded with my phone, hope you’ll excuse the sound quality.

              Very cool, man! Thanks for reminding about this lesson, I have to recheck it, sounds very appetizing.
              Your playing is fine! But this lesson ain´t EP-356, are you sure you wrote it right? It sounds more like 387

                      The blues is singing on that guitar.

                      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

                              Yes it’s a good one especially to practice those bends!

                              Nicely played Enrico. Your THR10 sounds great with your bluesy touch.

                                  Sounds great, you have it down better than I do. I have trouble with the intro. It’s my big fingers that’s my story and I’m sticking to it lol
                                  Great job.

                                      Nice going on that one and well played. I have done this lesson myself and it is one of the tough ones – very hard to get all those bends in seamlessly with the melody (I actually dropped my guitar from 11 guage to 9 guage strings after playing this because I just couldn’t do the bends to my satisfaction).

                                          Thanks Geoff. Those bends ain’t easy, got me a while to get them and still not perfect (need to learn to mute on the bend release). And yes I’ve got 9s on the Strat. Tried the same with 10s on the other guitar and no way..

                                          Wow, Enrico, that is tasty, play some more! Nice! I too will have to check out 387.
                                          Big coincidence, I had never heard of the THR10, until 2 weeks ago a buddy picked one up. That is a heck of an amp and you sound good on it – you’re in for a good time.

                                          Just focus on the notes you DID get right . . . Frank Vignola

                                              That is a great piece of technology and just perfect for home use! You can even use it as a speaker via bluetooth. I got the THR5A last year, which is great already but made for acoustic. Might try to sell the 5 now as the THR10 is best of both worlds.

It has the slides, the bends, the cool licks, the works and you played it well and with feeling! Congratulations on your new amp too, always exciting when a new piece of gear enters the house. All the best!
