July 2026 Challenge Response – wpb

[wannaplayblues]

Just trying to breathe between phrases – it’s so easy to want to keep playing and filling air.

Hopefully, I’m saying something meaningful…

Disclaimer – I did fix one bum note post-production. I just couldn’t let it sit there with the rest of the take having gone so well

Love it!! Sounds so smooth, perfect bends throughout and the space really makes those phrases standout ,
Cool ending as well .

Nice, I think that’s exactly what Brian had in mind.

Or the strength of an Oak with roots deep in the ground.

The exact response to Brian’s Challenge, spot on WPB with carefully toned bends.

Smooth as butter. Expertly done

Edit: Have listened to this a few times on repeat in my living room. Sounds absolutely brilliant on my speakers. Real professional quality

Thanks so much Ben! Yeah, the recording/mastering turned out really well on this one! More luck than anything else 🙂

Great stuff – Muddy Waters wouldn’t have criticised that. Great tone and playing, a perfect toe-tapper.

Fantastic Slow Blues!! Sounding like a pro. You really let breathe these long notes. Great classy bluesy licks.
Did you play the rhythm guitar yourself?
That turnaround at the end was soo good.
Super fat and clear tone. It sounded like you played with 13er SRV strings.

“I did fix one bum note post-production”. haha, it’s convenient if you know how to do that in your DAW.
I haven’t found out how to do it yet.

More Blues!

Nice call and response, WPB, and terrific tone. Love the ending tag.
I didn’t catch the correction but I totally get it. I certainly have fixed a note or slightly shifted the timing of a phrase in my day.
