        There were a number of members who used this lesson for the Dec 2025 Quist Challenge. I was gob smacked when I heard it and decided to learn in. Got a decent take of it and here it is. I had a copyright issue when I tried to upload it but now everything is fine. I think it was a Utube hiccup. Thanks for those that commented on the issued when I posted it.

          Very harmonious and relaxing playing.

            Glad you got that sorted out, David. Well played.
            Every now and then you hear Brian repeat something from another EP like that little haunting phrase at 36 sec.

                    David,
                    Is that a new guitar? Looks like you are enjoying that beautiful instrument. Thanks for sharing.

                        I picked up this 2001 Gibson ES175 last fall. It is a keeper.

                        Ugh, I had to remove the original posting as the backing track was removed and the sound quality of my playing was severely degraded as well. I resubmitted this and now it sounds decent. Sheesh, there sure are some nice members here complimenting me on this posting when it was gawd-awful.
