          Sounded great Manny. I liked how you decided to throw in a little blues number at the end. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

            One of Brian’s oldest Christmas lessons but still one of my favourites still. Great playing Manuel not only on Brian’s lesson but all your additions too. Some great double stop runs and pentatonic licks there.
            Merry Christmas and happy new year.

              Je me souviens pas avoir entendu EP029.
              Bon choix de chanson.
              Tres bon blues a la John Lee Hooker.

                  I remember working on that song loooong time ago. You make it look it easy!
                  Merry Christmas!

                    Can’t remember the lesson but I’m pretty sure you put your own stamp on it. Your playing always impresses me, Manuel.

                      Salut Manuel,

                      Moi aussi je suis francophone. J’aime bien que tu aies incorporé du blues dans une chanson de Noël.

                      André M a raison, je reconnais quelques licks qui me font penser à une chanson basé sur le style de John Lee Hooker que j’apprends sur un autre site.

                      Très cool ! C’est un de mes objectifs de 2026 d’apprendre ce style de blues acoustiques où on mélange rhythme et licks. Inspirant !

                              You’re having a groovy Christmas, Manuel. It’s got some J.J. Cale. Not a bad choice for Christmas either.

                              Take the chance to meet your AM friends on Zoom
                              The next Meetup will be at the beginning of next year 2026

                              A detailed announcement will be posted here in the forum in good time.

                              I look forward to meet you.
