        This is a very nice lesson from Brian. For my improvs in the second half I just tried to keep it simple and melodic. There are a lot of great ideas on harmonized 3rds and 6ths in this lesson and i love using them.

              Hi Geoff, that really is wonderful, melodic music with so many great ideas. By the way, your guitar has an excellent sound.

                  I have to say, i like this guitar does sound pretty good. One feature i realy like with this model Jazzmaster is the Rhythm circuit. It produces this rich mellow tone that sounds particularly nice to my ear.

                  That was wonderful, Geoff!! I really like the descending chord lick at 2:05. And it’s nice to hear a good balance between your guitar and backing track volumes. Could have been the soundtrack to my drive through New Mexico earlier this year. Cheers!!!

                      Thanks Glen. The chord like is really just descending 3rds I think , its a trick I like to use a lot with improvs and seems to work in lots of situations. I work pretty hard to balance the tracks because I find it too easy to overwhelm the backing track.

                      That sounded great Geoff. Your improv fit in very nicely.

                          Yes sir, that’s an excellent lesson and you did a wonderful job putting your own style on it.

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