        This was a fun one to play with. I first got the rhythm part down and recorded that, then added a lead part to it. @3:14 mark, the lead part was removed to highlight the rhythm part and cover up some mistakes I made. The lead part that comes in right after that was the part that I really liked. Let me know what you think.

        I know I someone is going to say, why no video. Because this was captured during recording practice without video and it sounded good. And I’m lazy. I also have a major problem with my phone rebooting constantly and didn’t want to waste time troubleshooting it.

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

          I think you’ve perfectly captured the idea behind this lesson. Sounds really fantastic.

            I thought it sounded excellent.

              Gee, a quick learn Michael! Hot off the press but you didn’t disappoint! Very melodic phrasing all through underpinned by solid rhythmic groove. ✅✅✅ All the best! 😎🎸😎

                I have to agree with Garry Michael. Seems like you got this down very fast and some great playing plus ideas of your own there 😎

                  Glad you guy’s liked it. This is definitely the fastest I have ever absorbed and created something like this. For some reason this lesson really connected with me. There are many other lessons in the past that took me a month just to stumble through it all the way. Maybe these lessons are working.

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