  I journeyed back to near the dawn of AM time and found this catchy two part Allman Brothers style lesson. The first part EP047 is an acoustic rhythm part while the follow up, EP048, added a backing track and a lead, to which I’ve added an additional verse with my own lead ideas.

  Following this challenge, I’ve decided I’m a big fan of the key of D so I’m looking forward to seeing all the other key of D submissions. It may take a while to do that as I’m on holiday for the next week.

  Once again the link has failed to embed properly which seems to be happening more and more. So sorry for forcing you out to YouTube. Maybe it needs some tags or attributes added 🤷

  Beautiful playing Andy. The acoustic and electric melded together so nicely and sounded wonderful.

  That was awesome work on both parts Andy. You picked a great song from the past.

  Simply outstanding, Andy! Such a nice and tight performance, loved both parts, acoustic rhythm and the electric lead. You produced some very nice vibratos in there, perfect tone – reminded me of EC’s style – so good!

  Wow Andy – that’s a real blast from the past! That was one of the first lessons I learned, but I haven’t played it or even heard it for years. To my ears, you totally nailed it!

  What a great lesson! That acoustic part is driving and catchy. Great tone on the electric, that fits perfectly.

  This is a great one from the archives because of its catchy rhythm. Andy you just gave it a cut and polish and made it all new and shining again. Both parts fitted it perfectly. Your arrangement of this really inspires one to actually go back to this lesson and see it in a different light. What you did with it was superb.
