        Hi AM’ers,
        This is my first post in a very long time, I have been distracted by other things.
        This lesson is one of Brian’s newer ‘soulful’ lessons, and it got me back in the saddle !
        I have also recorded EP473, which I will post shortly.

        Gear:
        G&L ASAT Tribute Candy Apple Red (my cheapest guitar, but a favorite !)
        BOSS ME-70 (Compression, Distortion, Delay)
        Focusrite Scarlett 2i2

        Hope you like it !

        Best regards,
        Peter

          Hi Peter
          I can see why it’s a favourite, nice tone and well played.
          Thanks

              Sounds great Peter! Good to see you back on the site. The G&L sounds just right for this one.

                Peter, very well played!!! 🎸👍 Love this lesson, too.
                Your sound is great. The Boss ME-70 caught my interest!
                I hope you will be posting more of your playing and not to get distracted too much ☺️.

                        Got a bit of a feeling of that Chris Stapleton song Tennessee Whiskey when I heard this. Silky man, sounded great!

                          Sounds great Peter, nice feel on this one! Look forward to hearing more.

                          I had a G&L ASAT a while ago that I wish I never sold!

                              That brings back memories – loved that track! Great playing!

                                Sweet playing there you nailed it !
                                I can see why the G&L is a favourite nice rounded tone to it , those boss effects work a treat especially the slight break up .
                                Well played.

                                  Great choice of lesson Peter. Really well played, very soulful feel and you’ve nailed the tone also. Keep on pickin’ and all the best! 🥸🎸🥸

                                    That’s a very nice sound you are getting out of your gear and this is well played too. I have come to the conclusion long ago that the price of an electric guitar has little to do with the quality of it’s sound – I love my $300 Squire Strat as much as my $700 Guild. (They both sound great and are good for different things.)

                                    Interesting you should mention your BOSS ME-70. I have the BOSS ME-80. They really are very versatile effects units aren’t they.

                                      Nicely done! Great tone and phrasing. Another lesson to check out!
