        This was a super fun track to play along to. I think I went through three versions of improve on this one. There is a part about halfway through the video where you will see me do more of a rhythm part to this track which was something I just stumbled on that sounded pretty good and could be developed even further.

        I’ll keep working on making improvements to this as time goes by since there is a lot of room for improvement. The telecaster is a heavy guitar that always gives me a stiff neck from playing too much. One of these days, I’ll work on getting some better recording equipment for better sound quality but this is the quick and dirty low tech version.

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

          Played well… with confidence, and your tone is better than you think. A simple iPhone goes a long way. You have a nice command of the fingerboard, juxtaposing between rhythm and lead real good!
          Fantastic job. Keep ’em coming, I’ma fan😎🎸.

            Hey Mike,
            I love the rhythms and muting you put in those solos, sounded very unique and original.

                That sounded great Michael. I liked the way you interspersed the lead and rhythm with the rakes. Really cool job. I think you could post this for the upcoming Challenge.

                    Great lesson and super playing Michael. You’ve definitely got a great feel for the blues and sound/tone is pretty good from my end. All the best and keep ‘em coming. 🎅🎸🎅
