              Really nice playing Bob. I liked how you ended it with that little run. Good stuff!

                  You sure know how to grab those ‘blue ‘ notes. This is soulful and earthy. Your steady rhythm allows that solo to breathe. Well done my friend.

                      Nice job sticking to the motif and making a song out it. The rhythm part was done well too. Here are a few lines that popped in my head as I listened.

                      my hands are plenty tired
                      been working all night long

                      hey, don’t bring me another
                      help me sing this song

                      he’s plenty big enough
                      and he won’t run away

                      I got the squirrel stuffing blues today
                      squirrel stuff….ing blues
                      I got the squirrel stuff….ing blues

                      Don’t be in my shoe’s
                      I got the squirrel stuffing blues today

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

                          That’s proper blues there, Bob. Well played, nice licks, nice runs.

                                  Hi Bob, great bluesy playing! The simple lead over the acoustic rhythm playing is a great sound. Very much a “back porch” rendition. Fun!

                                      Thanks Michael. Well put, I definitely got the back porch vibe from this little tune as well.

                                      Got a nice country mood to it, feels like a jam circle. I like when you kick in the minor pentatonic licks 😎
