        Hi all.

        Just back from holidays and I had to be quick to get something in. I used Logic session plugin to create a quick backing track of A and E and then grabbed the guitar and tried to noodle over the top of it – doh! – seems I didn’t have the phone in the correct orientation for the video but it’s correct orientation of the guitar that matters! 🙂

        Looking forward to see what everyone submitted.

        Until next month – Happy holidays everybody!

            You seem to be progressing nicely Dermot. Nice job.

              Nice rhythmic motifs, harmonized run and you covered a lot of fretboard. Awesome!

                Hi Dermot, always good to wrap up a challenge with your post!! Nice picking, you have a good melody going. Some nice pentatonic ideas and intervals.
