        Greetings to everyone from Italy. I know very well that I did not answer the real theme of the April challenge because I would have had to create my improvisational alchemy according to my imagination with my imagination, unfortunately I did not have time to experiment and find the right inspiration my time is always very limited as I imagine for everyone, however, I am improving a lot following Active Melody and for this I especially thank Brian. I also find it very important to follow your performances and come up with new ideas. I cordially greet the whole community … 🙋🙋🙋

              Bravo Carlo. That was a Bellisimo performance.

                  Hi Carlo:

                  You sound like a jazz musician playing at a jazz hot spot. Your tone and lead lines sound beautiful. Thank you.

                  Cheers, Tom

                          Another version of this sweet melody and you give it your personal stamp, Carlos. Great jazzy laid back feel in it. So well played.

                          Take the chance to meet your AM friends on Zoom
                          The next Meetup is expected to take place in November 2025

                          There will be a detailed announcement here in the forum in good time.

                              Thanks Manfred, I listen to the song many times as Brian plays it, I accompany it by playing just the chords many times, then I play the melody . You can’t fail if you never stop trying.

                                  Hi Tim thanks a lot for the positive comment, believe me I have tried many times, I like to play many times the chords of the song together with Brian then when I have assimilated well the melody I start to play with the right expression. Thanks a lot a greeting from Naples

                                  Beautifully played Carlo your practice has paid off and rewarded you , a popular lesson choice this month . Soulful and melodic you capture the feel of it perfectly .

                                          Carlo, well done my friend. You played that so well! I think you undersold yourself here. The only thing I may suggest is the ending could have been smoothed out by a tapering transition volume high to low… not too much work and helps smooth out an abrupt ending. Nice job here… glad you submitted 🙂 Cheers. Pap

                                                  I am currently in my holidays in Italy at the Adria coast and today we visited the Ducati factory in Borgo Panigale…very impressive🏍️.

                                                              Play guitar just like you live; don't get bogged down in theory, it's just a tool without feeling.
