        Two choruses of a 12bar blues, using two licks I love; one from EP246 and one from EP330

        …and seeing as we’re into repurposing, I repurposed my self-created backing track from the March challenge 😛

          Excellent wpb! Loved your playing and tone. Everything was spot on in this.

            Outstanding wpb! Playing the blues is right up your ally.

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

                Well played, WPB. A lively tune with some hot licks. Love your recording set up. Sounds great.

                  Some classic licks, executed cleanly with excellent timing. Pro level right there!

                    Done with absolute perfection, wpb! Your style of playing is picture and tone perfect, wonder if you have ever considered becoming an online guitar instructor because I can totally see you in that role 😎🎸

                      That was some fine improv there, WPB. You kept me interested the whole time. Well played!

                        Excellent submission, I just wish it had gone for a bit longer. I really enjoyed it and was also impressed with your backing track.
