        I like this version better…but need to remind myself again to also pick at the bridge to change the tone , feel etc.

            Well done, Mike. Tone, technique and phrasing are spot-on. Very sultry and “atmospheric.” True blues.

              Hi Mike, I think this is definitely an improvement over last post. The only thing I can put my finger on is you are getting a “fatter” tone out of your guitar this time and that always sounds better to my ear. Great work on this one 😎.

              For your interest. With classical guitar right hand positioning near and away from the bridge is a critical feature. I haven’t heard much on this with electric or steel string guitar playing though. Personally, I would be happy simply switching between neck and bridge pickups for that kind of effect. Each to their own of course 😃

                  Yes, I agree Mike. This version is a better take. I like the way you work your way up the fretboard and also how you treat your phrasing and how you’re leaving the spaces in between. Well played. All the best! 😎🎸😎
