        This was the lesson that brought me to Active Melody. I came across Brian playing this on Facebook and said to my wife, “This is what I want to learn to do!”

                I agree, that lesson grabbed me as well. Well played, Bob.

                    Excellent work Bob. You expressed those bends really well and the guitar tone was sounding good as well.

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

                      Nicely played Bob. You do make it look easy when , I know, it is not.

                        You are picking this stuff up really fast Bob. The music is in you for sure!

                            Nicely done Bob.

                            I liked how you put your own spin on it.

                            Popular lesson indeed. I’ve been dipping in and out of it since it landed.

                              Great job – brought back fond memories of when I did this one!
