        A drop D acoustic tune, based on Brian’s EP 354 with added inspiration from Stephen Stills.

          Very nice Jonathan.
          Your acoustic has a great tone.
          I remember seeing Stephen stills just going crazy on the acoustic.

            Fine groovy flat picking – sounds really great.

              I like what you improvised over Brian’s lesson. Love the haunting and powerful Drop D . Great and full tone.

              More Blues!

                Great groove and energy. Love the call and response elements, very engaging listen. Bravo 🙌

                  That was so good Jonathan. And the tone of that guitar came through loud and clear in the recording. Beautiful.

                    Sounds great, Jonathan! Very energetic and great tones from you acoustic guitar. All those extra licks you added kept me wondering what would come next. Reminded me of Buffalo Springfield stuff. Excellent!
