March 2026 Challenge Response – Werner

[Werner]

Here’s my contribution for the challenge. I came up with the idea for the bass line myself. And of course, I played it myself, along with the two guitars. I really enjoyed this challenge.

The dog took off—she’s probably more of a blues dog.

That’s pretty unique. The bass line is perfect and that rhythm groove was very catchy sounding.

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

That was very funky Werner. You get some amazing tones out of that Acoustasonic. I really enjoyed listening. I think your sunglasses put it over the top!

Very nice….and your dog seems happy too…

Cool tune you created, Werner. Loved your bass line and syncopated strumming.
Looking sharp in your dark sunglasses.

Hi Werner, love the scratchy funk groove! I find that really hard to play, but you nailed it. Great vibe to the whole thing… the music, the bass, and those cool shades!! Love it!

Excellent funky composition, Werner, brilliantly crafted, layered and played! Liked very much the bass lines, the funky groove and then your excellent licks and leads! I truly enjoyed to listen to it, as much as it looks you had fun playing with your rock star dark glasses 😅!

Smoking hot! Love the vibe your created as it gave you the platform to lay down a nice and saucy lead. Love the 70’s/soul mood of the whole thing. I think your pup couldn’t keep still and got up to boogie a bit.

Too cool for school, Werner. I think you found your niche whether your doggie likes it or not. That is one funky wrist you got there, more of that.

Cool, funky stuff, Werner, and those cool glasses—it all just fits together perfectly. And above all, you can tell how much fun you had doing this. And that fun really comes across to the audience.

Wow Werner, you really captured a funky dance party vibe. So hip, so cool and so much fun. Someone needs to book you for a gig.

[JoLa]

How cool was that, Werner – entirely entertaining! Loved the funky muted strums and the bass line, wish I could see you play that bass, though! And it’s not that she was more of a blues dog, she just really liked her treats being tossed around! 😅 The whole family seemed to have a blast filming this and it shows – great work! 😎 🤘

Cool & groovy – that makes any blues friend happy. (including the dog)

[Martin W]

Cool bass line it really drives the funky lead playing, love the creativity!

[Paul S.]

It was as plain as the cool shades and smile on your face that you thoroughly enjoyed performing this challenge. The bass line and muted strumming is what qualifies this as “funkalicious!”

[Bruce D]

Werner,
Nice composition, like the tone settings too.
Very cool, even got some surf vibe in there.
Neat!

Bruce
Bring back the dog.

Just focus on the notes you DID get right . . . Frank Vignola
