        Here is my take on EP 170.
        This is my first video post that wasn’t a monthly challenge.
        I would like to do more of these shorter videos, just as good practice.
        Thanks for watching, looking forward to July submissions coming up!

                Nice man. That was cool. Tele-sounds really good.

                        Clay, this is very fine playing! I love your jazzy sound of this Tele, you did a great job on this one!

                            Nicely done. This is a fun lesson. I really liked the chordal vibrato you got. Very sweet sounding. Only suggestion is to work a little more on the smoothness of the diminished arpeggio. You have it, but I sensed a slight hesitation.

                              Clay — I liked that a lot. Your really captured the vibe of this tune. That tele sounds great.

                                Very nice Clay, I noticed immediately the great sound. No sharp heights. Clean rounded sound. Great played.

                                Play guitar just like you live; don't get bogged down in theory, it's just a tool without feeling.
