I don’t know that I figured out all the changes. Did it keep going back to the Fm each time? Anyhow, this was fun to play over!

Sounded sooo nice, Kelly. The bends were so sweet. Was a little reminiscent of “Georgia on my mind”.

Great one Kelly, you definitely kept it interesting during the whole song.

Best part was the little slide run up the neck at around second 38. Really felt organic. The whole piece had a lot of feel.

Nice runs Kelly.
Great sound from what I’m going to guess was a Strat.
Keep it comin”
Best,

Kelly,
Whoa, you had me at the first bend. So nice.
I think you ‘figured out all the changes’!
Could definitely listen to a couple more choruses.
Love those doublestops. Great take, so well played on that Tele!Bruce
Just focus on the notes you DID get right . . . Frank Vignola

Loved that multi bend (up-down-up-down ..) at 0:24. Actually so much in there I liked too hard to describe it all. Really nice tone and playing was great – phrasing, timing, following the backing track. All good. An enjoyable listen.

This was really amazing. The solo fits very good to the backing track. Perfect!

I like your intro line. It eases you into your solo very well, which is great also. Nice and clean playing. Very enjoyable!
Btw you are right about the Fm, kind of. 1st time is Bb9, 2nd is DbMaj7. The notes of an Fm triad are in both those chords.JFL

Way to go … that was terrific. Sounded so good and a creative placement of notes from a musical ear. Would have liked to have seen a little more visually of where you were going on the fretboard but wonderful to hear your playing again.

Love it! Great sense of melody and you played through all of those changes really well. I particularly liked your melodic run over the E7 in the repeat playing.
Keep up the great work! Thanks for sharing.

Really good Kelly – so smooth.

Very musical Kelly. You seem to be playing what you hear rather than where fingers land on scales. That’s great, and hence you sound great!

You played great, Kelly. All tones went wonderfully one over the other. Your bending was just perfect, lady. You operated the track flawlessly and sensitively. Thumbs up.
Play guitar just like you live; don't get bogged down in theory, it's just a tool without feeling.

Hi Bob! Thanks for the comment. Good to be back. We bought a house in October and have been doing constant home improvements. This weekend we nearly finished building a bluestone patio. Lots of work!! Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!

Hi Kelly,
that was beautiful. Nice bass lines and sixth ideas. The video corresponded perfectly to the mood of the song… -

Kelly what can I say?
It was played so nicely and a pleasure to hear ..Blue

Kelly, this is what I got on the chord changes;
C, E7, F, FM
C/A7, D7/D dim7, C/FM, C/G7I think this challenge was to reinforce the EP 370/371 lessons on secondary dominants. I think you did a great job feeling your way through the music and getting away from your classical base training. Nice job. Pap

That was wraparound sound at it’s best. That first bend was enough to pin my ears back. Another very accomplished performance.
-

Thanks Phil! I’m not familiar with the term “wraparound sound.” What is it?

Very tastefully composed and played Kelly. Lots of variety with bends, harmonised notes and single lines. Loved the split screen also. All the best!

Great playing Kelly. Nailed it. Could have listened a bit longer.
-

Awesome, not only the melody (and the technic behind) is great, but also the different accentuations of the notes in your attack gives depth to your composition.
Great!Where does the white go when snow melts?

Wow Kelly… absolutely fantastic playing. You are at pro level! I enjoyed the heck out of that.

Great job, Kelly! Really good playing and sound. I look forward to hearing more from you.
-
November 29, 2020 at 4:23 pm #223214
You’re such a natural, Kelly, I always look forward to your videos. You started with a great opening and then beautiful cascading runs down to bass notes and then added more variety in the second run. Very expressive and engaging!
