I barely made it to the party, phew! I’ve had a tough month but managed to put this video together last night after work. Working on this beautiful track was a lot of fun and I tried many different things, the slide was a last minute idea. Hope to have enough time this weekend to go through all your creations, can’t wait to see what you all came up with!

Great work Jola! Its amazing what you can get done in such a short period of time. I like the comment you made in the thread on this BT chord progression. I did EP 314 a couple years ago…what a great lesson and you remembered it! You’re a great student. Thanks for that….you’re right on the mark with how that relates to the Em part. Cheers. Pap

JoLa! My goodness.
This is fantastic. Gives me goosebumps. Not only one gorgeous melody but two. There is no margin of error here. You either nail the slide or you crash and burn. I love the unique sounds you generated. You took some big risks and came out so far ahead of the curve. 😃🎸You should be proud of yourself. Just sayin’-I really enjoyed this. What a fantastic piece of music. Thank you for your continued inspiration.John

You came up with this on the fly?
It was beautiful and fully in keeping with the dreamy yet powerful backing track.
That adds up to the perhaps obvious point that you are a talented and creative musician who has a great command of her instruments.
The double stops, hybrid picking, all perfect for this. -

Very pretty and ethereal! Love the effect of the slide on the resonator guitar…is that one of the Gretsch’s?
Loved it! -

Sometimes the last minute ideas are the best, Jola. The slide playing goes so well with this track. And then this wonderful solo. It sounds so inspired and relaxed. I can’t believe you recorded this after a day’s work. Music is relaxation, isn’t it?
Take the chance to meet your AM friends on Zoom
The next Meetup will probably take place in July/August 2025There will be a detailed announcement here in the forum in good time.

This is really something completely new 😉 in this challenge JoLa! Great idea to use a slide! Wonderful submission with little time, the result was excellent as always!
If I wasn't making mistakes I wouldn't be the kind of player I want to be. Perfection is dangerous.

Your slide part was a great idea JoLa… very Harrisonish, and your single lines were just right, Brian always says to phrase like a singer and you did that very well. A piece like this doesn’t call for a mess of notes, just a few good ones, and you found quite a few of those. Sounds very “uncluttered” and musical.

I first listened to your submission through Speakers, JoLa, and then again through Headphones, as I thought I detected you changing the stereo perspective on the individual tracks – I did this on my submission too 😂; it adds a lovely ethereal quality to the tune! Really lovely and pretty composition – Mark 👍🎶😎

Hi Jola, many thanks for your kind comments on my submission. It made me realise that I couldn’t recall seeing yours and you not posting was as unlikely as me getting a tax rebate! Glad I found it and that you found time to finish it. The slide was awesome, I listened through headphones as it swirled from one ear to the other. Great effect on the slide too, was it some kind of reverb?. I’d thought of trying to play some slide but couldn’t come up with something. What you did fitted perfectly, the sparsity in the playing was just right, it reminded me of Floyd but I can’t recall quite why. Loved the lead you put on top in the second cycle, as always your ear for a melody came to the party too!
