  Hi AM’s friends
  This month I wanted to take a break and skip the challenge because I didn’t really mind that much. Friday a little idea for a blues came out, it all lasted very little so I added some arpeggios. Execution is a bit difficult but I am satisfied.
  Thanks for listening.

  What an idea Livio. Definitely one to capture. After listening a couple of times I found the directions and note choices you pursued to be expressive in a unique way and compelling. So I grabbed a guitar to explore it with you:-) Very nice. Thanks for sharing.
  
  Cheers, Tom

  Thought and done, Livio. And you seem to have the ability and skill to implement it so well in a short time. I‘m glad you made it. For me it was fun to listen to your bluesy arpeggios.
  
  Take the chance to meet your AM friends on Zoom
  The next Meetup is expected to take place in November 2025
  
  There will be a detailed announcement here in the forum in good time.
  
  I look forward to meet you.

  Perfect, Livio!
  I really like this kind of solo bluesy playing and have been trying to do something like that myself. I usually get stuck after the I chord so I admired how smoothly you targeted all the right notes. I also really liked the fact that they were all in one spot on the fretboard, what a great chord changes study!

  Hi livio , glad you made it and was inspired to play a well thought out blues composition, you have an excellent ear for landing on those chord tones , I like the way you defined things with the bass notes in the first few bars .

  Outlined the chords to produce a very nice melody. Good one and wearing the T-shirt as a badge of honour.

  Very good, Livio. I think implementing an idea at short notice is never a bad thing. I liked your composition.
  To your question:
  I don’t think guitarists have to assert themselves. Such questions do not arise for me. Everyone plays in their own way and mood; and that’s just as well. Maybe it’s more about recognition. Then you developed your own style.
  
  Play guitar just like you live; don't get bogged down in theory, it's just a tool without feeling.

  Nice inspired blues, glad you didn’t skip this challenge or we wouldn’t get to hear this. I like the accentuated arpeggio and occasional strum in there. Nice submission.

  Ciao Livio. I am glad you did submit your bluesy arpeggios, that was fun to listen to. Thanks for sharing.
  (P.S. I felt the same way about joining this challenge and made the decision to join only on Saturday morning. But I have to say, I am also glad I did join. I just read the nice and encouraging comments of our AM-friends (you among them) and this motivated me immensely to stay tuned. So: see you next month! 😊👋🏽
