          Perfectly played, Richard – both the lesson and your improv. I’m blown away by how many members came up with such good improv this time. This never used to happen. A couple of years ago, we all just played the lesson and called it a day. I wonder what it all means. Are we getting to the point where the mother ship will soon come and take us all away?

                Nicely played, you nailed the lesson then took it to your own place!

                    Great job, Richard! You played the lesson flawlessly and then delivered a solid improvisation and that’s not easy to do! I agree with Steve’s comment above, a lot more improvising seen here lately but that is thanks to Brian who likes to see “our creations” 😉

                      Nice improv. You’ve inspired me to try my own.

                          Well done

                          I tried a few improv bits but never really had time to develop them and am amazed by the inginuity of the forum members.

                              Good to hear you Richard. You played that very well. Your attic practice room brings to mind my teen years playing guitar in the attic. Got my first kiss up there too. Girls dig the guitar player!

                                Richard, just how good are you man, spanked the competition right out the park with this one!.

                                  Perfectly played, Richard! Especially your improvisation convinced me. You play with great joy; it drives a smile in my face. It’s nice to share our hobby with you. Thank you!

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

                                    Hey Richard, nice little improvisation there the 2nd time through – you did a great job. I kept waiting for those harmonized 3rd and 6th harmonies when improvising. I got just a taste of it at the end of your solo. Great job of playing around though! Thank you for sharing.

                                      Hi Richard.

                                      You’ve played the lesson flawless and clean. About the impro, I would suggest you something more in a “call-response” way. Repeat the last prhase but endind different .. you know what I mean, makes solos more “speaking”.

                                      Good Job.
