        I sold my soul to the devil and CAGED myself in the practice room for this 😀 There is still a lot to get out of this 2 lessons. But now I need to take a break from this for a few weeks, because my head is smoking. And EP 345 ist waiting for me. I felt in love with it already!

                      nailed it! great tone too. Your speed and timing were spot on. 9.6 – a had to dock you .4 points for the video hahaha.

                      Keep up the grat work.

                        It doesn’t come any better than that Roland, but I’m sure you know that. Superb from start to finish. I hope you’re playing those grooves in public.

                            Really nice Roland. I’ve been working on these too, but haven’t got them as polished as your version. My ultimate challenge is to try adding another verse. Brian’s licks are so tasty, mine sound a bit bland in comparison.

                                    Haha 🙂 the camera decided to focus on the background. So I decided to put some carzy filters on it… My girlfriend also don’t likes my puttin filters on my videos all the time 😀

                                    yeahh, that would be great. and also it would be great to use all this and start to improvise on this playback. maybe I’ll go back in a few weeks and try that… let’s see.

                                    Well I am a perfectionist. I hear and know some parts where I did not play it perfectly. I think if I would have to play this live I would need make it a littel bit slower, or practice it for two more weeks. in the video you hear the best I can do right now at home completely relaxed and its take number 7. I playd live on a stage some times (ages ago) an I now the situations is vey different when you are nervous, your sweating, maybe your hands are shaking….. so rigth now I would not play this live
