        Hello my friends!
        Glad to be back — even though it’s rather late in the weekend.
        My response to this challenge is based on our AM Zoom meeting in July. Manfred mentioned that EP 282 might be a good fit for the challenge, and since I was a little short on time, I gladly took his suggestion.
        I hope I’ll get a chance to watch some of your videos, and I hope you all had a great AM weekend.
        See you in the next challenge!

        Cheers,
        Juxi

        Bluesige Grüße

            Way to go Juxi. That piece is quit good for this challenge. The sound of your Martin is outstanding and you played it superbly. There has been so many really good advances with all the members this month, I’m glad you made it into the challenge to be a part of it.

            Go slow and practice correct technique, and your abilities will dramatically improve.

              Awesome Juxi, I remember playing this one.
              Timing is tricky.
              You played it way better than me with a great tone from your acoustic.

                That was super cool Juxi. Very atmospheric and played with great tone and touch. Nice one! Will have to explore this lesson.

                    Nice one Juxi – very atmospheric and perfectly played, with a great tone. I’m glad you made it in time.

                      This is probably THE lesson for leaving space in the AM archives and a crowd favourite. I think I know every note so I know you played it perfectly. Wonderful tone from the Martin

                        Same here Juxi, that was flawless. In my opinion that was one of Brian’s best compositions to date and you played it with all the depth and emotion it deserved.

                        For a last minute effort, that was more than terrific.

                            Beautifully played, Juxi. I couldn’t think of which previous ambient piece Brian had created other than EP 617 and that’s the one.
                            Sounded great on your Martin.

                                Ah, Juxi, I’m so glad I was able to help you make a decision. And it was so worth it. You’ve created a wonderful version of this classic EP. Your beautifully articulated playing, the timing, and the sound are all wonderful.
                                I’m really more than happy that you managed to pull it off at the last minute this month.

                                Ich sehe du bist für unseren Jam gerüstet!

                                Take the chance to meet your AM friends on Zoom.
                                The next Meetup will take place in October

                                There will be a detailed announcement here in the forum a few weeks before.

                                I look forward to meet you.

                                    Danke für den Hinweis auf EP 282. Der Hinweis auf unseren Jam war ebenso gut…. Jetzt weiß ich, was ich heute Abend noch machen könnte 😊

                                      Some fantastic scale choices there, making for some wonderful harmonies. Love the whole mood of this!

                                        Nice work with this AM classic , you play it so well after such a short study , and a perfect example for leaving space , it’s a great one to improvise over as well
                                        Sweet tone from the acoustic.
