        Hello again dear AMers!!!
        This is my second attempt at a Blues song!And it’s all thanks to our dearest AMer Bob who introduced me to this song when he heard my post here of the BBKing lesson EP 029!When I heard this song,I simply got hooked on it!!!!It took me a long time to learn it but I loved every minute of it!And for once,the last part of the video is improvisation indeed,which I thought I would erase but then decided to let it play!The funny thing is that I recorded it on my phone (no microphone 😪😪😪)in an empty classroom at school!!! (Too much noise at home🤣🤣)so I begged Mike to do his magic again and transform the whiteboard and the desks!!🤣🤣🤣🤣So here’s the result!

          That put a smile on face early on a Saturday morning, Helen. Just great all around. Loved the vocals and improv. The learned solos were really well done, also. Your brother added so much with the video editing. Did you create the backing track?

              Absolutely beautiful, Helen! The playing and singing were both spot on 👍🎶

              I think you’ve a touch of actress inside you too (multi talented!) – you expressed the pain of unrequited love in your face, voice and lead. A real complete performance 👏👏🥰🥰

              Again, Mike comes through with a great video production to complement you!

              Best wishes and lots of love to you both! ❤️

                Helen that is a fine tune and you have made the most of it well done. You have a lovely voice and I am sure a better microphone would work wonders. If you have an iphone have you considered the Sure MV88 you would be truly amazed at their ability to give studio performance from such a minor adaption. Keep it up your playing gets ever better.

                  A top rendition Helen. Your voice is made for this style of blues, sounded brilliant. Guitar playing also complimented your vocals nicely and kudos to Mike for his video work. Great overall production from you both. All the best!

                    Very excellent Helen. I can see you really have come along way since you joined AM. Actually I will put it another way. I think joining this forum simply uncovered the talents you always had. Love your playing, love your voice.

                        Great solos.
                        Awesome video. good job Mike.
                        I did this song before musical version only.
                        I wish i knew you then would have been nice to have you play and sing.

                          Helen, you’re developing a nice touch for the blues. Your improv had a cool blues feel and your vocals completed the whole package…nicely done.

                            Wow, I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone learn to play and sing the blues as fast as you have. You are literally already at a professional level. Flawless!

                                                You can sing them blues Helen, you really have the goods to succeed with this path. Great choice of background clip to set the mood. Although the classroom and blackboard would be suitable for teachers blues, maybe that is a thought for a future one.

It was one of my first several Blues gitfiddle lesson when I started about 15 years ago! The Peter Green solos are so amazing. And you captured his spirit a thousand percent. Plus, your singing is a great addition! Keep ’em coming my friend! Bob

What I can say: you rendition is simply amazing!!! Your voice, as I already said, is simply perfect for blues, and your guitar parts, especially the difficult soloing, was amazing! You’re already at the same level of those artists who can at the same time play solos and sing beatifully! Awesome!
