          Very cool, Santiago … or is it EkkeDui? You are getting there! You reminded me of a very beautiful lesson, I may have to look it up again. It’s one thing to be able to play something but yet another to record yourself playing it so thanks for sharing yours. I think recording ourselves is very helpful.

          Just so you know, the monthly challenges are specifically timed so you are way too early for the May challenge which is to be submitted May 31st through June 2nd. However, you can post your playing anytime under Showcase Your Playing.

          See you next time 😉

              Yep, a bit early for the May Challenge, but that’s OK. Now you don’t have to record it again. I think if I were you, I would re-post it on the weekend of May 31, or it may get lost in the archives of Active Melody. Well played, by the way, although I do think you should have taken your shirt off like a proper wrestler.

                  EkkeDui, Thank you for posting this. You know, I really enjoyed this. I felt like I was watching one of those American Western movies in the 70s, guys are around the fire eating beans and drinking coffee. And one of them is playing little country song with his Spanish guitar! Beautifully played, full of feelings.

                    That’s sounding really good. You get an excellent tone, and you have the mechanics of the lesson down very well. Time and practice will smooth it out.

                        It’s just in there really raw but you have to listen

                          Cool, EkkeDui (since you are wearing the mask). What is EkkeDui’s finishing move? Nice playing… I think you have everything down here and play it pretty smooth. Speed will come with practice. Keep it up!

                            Nice mask – great job playing this one, impressive for a beginner! Thanks for sharing.

                              Thanks Hide, Duffy, Lights, snakechisler, Dave, Brian, for all your comments …

                              I’m really a beginner but in love with Brain’s compositions and his way of teaching. After publishing the video I felt a bit of embarrassment and it seemed a daring on my part .. but I wanted to win Active’s t-shirt ;-)… maybe I could show other of the recordings that I’ve been making during the last year … And I think that your comments will help me to lose my shame again

                              Thanks
