        I thought I might get this in before the March Challenge video. It’s a short jazzy kind of instrumental.

            That’s pretty cool Jim! I was playing a bit of lead over your chord progression. Do you have a looper pedal?

                  Nice little piece. You played all the right notes. And the chord progression is mighty nice, too. Keep up the good work. Always great to try your won stuff out.

                    Very cool. For some reason it made me think of a sunset over the desert.

                      Nice chord progression, Jim. Like San Luis suggested, you might want to think about getting a looper pedal. You could loop the basic chord progression, then spend hours thinking up improv to play over it.

                        Smooth and elegantly played. Very nice.

                          I’m liking this too Jim, like the others have said a backing track of the chord progression would have beefed this up, talent on this here forum is pretty amazing, looking forward to see where you take this one Jim.
