June 2025 Challenge Response – Alan O – 3rd try…

[Alan O]

Hi AM Friends,

3rd try here this time from a PC instead of iPhone… Hopefully, 3rd time’s s a charm!

Here is a ‘Cortez the Killer’ backing track I found on Youtube to use for this month’s challenge. Great song and easy chord progression to improvise over… I uploaded this video last night and realized that I’m wearing the same shirt as in last month’s video. At least I’m using a different guitar, lol!

Alan, You have to make a reply to your own post with the same content and video link. Then it works!

Take the chance to meet your AM friends on Zoom
The next Meetup will probably take place in the second half of August

There will be a detailed announcement here in the forum in good time.

I look forward to meet you.

I love that sound Alan, great result …. well played. You gave a real rock interprettion to the harmonised thirds idea. Fantastic.. I shall look up the track & have a go myself now!. By the way, I think the secret to great rock is never to change you clothes 🙂

Sounds really cool, Alan. I was hoping you would jump up and start thrashing around the stage like Neil does. 😀 Rust Never Sleeps!
