Excellent playing of ‘The Claw’ Jean Luc. Jerry Reed wrote some classics and you’ve inspired me to go back and look at ‘Blue Finger’, ‘Jiffy Jam’ … Wow, those runs at 1.30 are mean! Well played. All the best! 😎🎸😎

Brilliantly played Jean Luc.

Impressive showcase of finger style skills Jean Luc.
I thought maybe a little less overdrive in your tone as it got just a bit muddy it spots. Fantastic playing 👏🏻👏🏻Scott

Thanks Scott.
You are right, this is too much overdrive.
On the next song (Blue finger) I will remove it…jean luc G

You’re a brave guitar picker to tackle that tune, Jean Luc. Wonderful job on a really challenging song.

Nicely played Jean Luc-Very much in the style of Jerry Reed. You got a nice groove going there.

Very nice Jean Luc. This was certainly a fun groove to listen to 🎶.
Impressed by your slick technique on the left hand. You appear to move around the fretboard pretty effortlessly 👌

Thanks Geoff
It’s a bad impression…
In truth, the left hand suffers enormously…especially with rheumatism…

No, I don’t think it is a bad impression at all. In fact, I am giving this another listen as I write and enjoying this again :). Impressed that you play so well with the left hand issues going on.
I know all about left hand issues. I have a severe contracture in both my hands that is bending the fingers inwards and I have been through 10 surgeries just to keep them from bending in further. Somehow we carry on – right ?
