        Hi All,

        Here is EP547, an Eric Clapton style blues. A fun one to play with not too many tricky spots. I’m playing my Fender Player Stratocaster through my Supro Delta King 10.

        Hope everyone is well.

            Your playing and tone is really good Garry.

              That’s really good Garry. As always, very well played indeed. Not a lesson I was aware of either.

              One of the things I appreciated was your cinematography. Like the way you zoomed in and out like that 🙂.

                That was really good Gary. There is something about this Quist track and those suggested licks that sound so good together. Definitely one of my favorites.

                Go slow and practice correct technique, and your abilities will dramatically improve.

                    That’s some nice sound with the Fender thru the Supro Delta King! Great technique Garry!

                      As slick and smooth as old ‘slowhand’ himself. Great sounds, Garry.

                          Nicely played. I love that sound of your Strat-it has a smooth, clear, ‘poppy’ tone. You fully captured the Clapton vibe here. Smooth, clear, clean and fluid.

                              Beautifully played!
                              I like how much you are giving attention to the many details. All the licks and that rake are played very smoothly. The piece looks easier than it is.
                              I love that lesson.
                              Hope you are doing well.

                                Great rendition, Garry. Not easy to play this lesson at the original fast tempo (I played this one at a slower tempo) and you did a brilliant job!

                                  Played with touch and finesse Garry. You really brought out the melody and soul in the music i think i prefer these slow Clapton lessons over the faster ones.
                                  Got to see Clapton live a few weeks ago. Over 80 but still sings with power and plays with all those subtleties we’ve come to love. A great night
