Quist Challenge Version 2 Slow Blues A

[Mike D]

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

Live on planet Earth ? You got the blues.

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 😃

Thanks Geoff!

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! 😎🎸😎

Excellent phrasing Mike, very soulful and expressive, letting breath the notes and singing melodies with your guitar.

Very tasty lead! I like this “thrown in” licks at the beginning. Nice blend of minor and major pentatonic. I like how you moved from the lower to higher neck playing.

I love these Quist tracks, they’re so fantastic to improvise.

More Blues!

Sweet playing there Mike , those phrases are a standout leaving the right amount of space in between .
You have a nice touch with a slow blues track .
