Hi Debra.
Congrats for you T-Shirt! I’m sure you will have a new one soon (well … in a year…;-)
I’ve heard many of your submissions, and let me tell you that I’m impressed with your improvement. You and many other ones (me too) seems to take profit from this site.
This one sounded perfect in tempo and execution. And you look’s playing it effortless.

Too cool for school, Debra. Love the look, love the tone. That was bad ass moody with a classy finale. There have been a few submissions that made me smile and that was one.

Made me smile as well. That was wonderful. You’ve become a blues woman now!
That thumping bass and all those bends sounded great. So hard to make those bends so close to the nut, on an acoustic.
You’ve come a long ways and you are really sounding good.
Congrats on your shirt. -

Nice T-shirt!
Now that I think about it, Brian must have composed this Microlesson just for you, Debra. Avant-garde and way cool!
Well-done and play on!

You have to be the most improved player on this site. Not only do your glasses fit the groove but you sway with it! Too cool.

Yes, you’ve captured the blues perfectly with this one Debra. I agree with some of the others, your best to date. What a way to start the year.

Debra, that was not only the best submission I have seen from you on here but in general thoroughly and utterly fantastic, from the bass beat, to the lead licks, to the tone (at risk of sounding cliche, “haunting”!) to your shades… This submission is a great testament to the teaching power of Brian’s efforts and your “Challenge Champion” status is well deserved.
Again, yet another lesson I am not familiar with- this one I absolutely take a gander at.

Debra,
That was absolutely amazing. Perfectly executed dark mysterious acoustic blues and I love the tone and the look of your guitar. You inspired me to look into this Microlesson, for sure.
Congratulations on being the Challenge Champion, well deserved!
Cheers,

Debra, that was super bluesy played. Great groove! It is not easy to play a bending on the second fret. But you have exactly hit the required tone; every time. Thumbs up!
Play guitar just like you live; don't get bogged down in theory, it's just a tool without feeling.

Hey Debra, I thought your previous challenge was your best ever, but you’ve really surpassed it with this one. Good solid beat, great tone, and those bends must be killing your finger tips. I don’t know that microlesson, but I’m guessing you put some improv into it, since you had quite a lot of variety for a microlesson.

Very nicely done Debra. You are getting really good at fingerpicking. I like how your thumb made such a steady baseline and the lead licks were so cool also. Well done and congrats on the 12 consecutive challenges!

Now that is some tasty Blues you served us up Debra! Rock steady bass and fill licks, killer double stop bends and hammer ons. You’ve inspired me to check this one out. Fantastic post!

I think I’m going to be late for work having to have scrolled down so many accolades…..Holy Moly….You “struck a chord” with that one, Debra. I suppose your new nick name could be “steady thumb”……Very cool submission…You looked and sounded the part. Here’s to 2019!!!
Bravo!!!!!

Hi Debra, this is a superb submission! I listened to a lot of Tony Joe White stuff last couple of weeks, and this could definitly be one of his acoustic tracks. Ultimate blues playing!
