        I chose ML005, ML034 and parts of EP218. To be honest, I have been looking for two ML-Lessons for my running exercises (the fretboard to use) which I could include. I start with ML005, then I make a transition with other elements that were inserted in EP218. Here I have also ML034. I have always taken small parts from these lessons.
        It’s in the end more an exercise for me to move me on the fretboard.
        Everything has come back differently than I thought at first. As always.

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

          Amazing like always and like always I’m blown away by your runs all around the fretboard
          I’ve really enjoyed it

            Hey Wilfried

            Nice hook at the beginning – that set everything up, wish you would have come back to a few times in the performance. Lots of goodies in there – well played and as always the tone is super enjoyable to listen to.

                Great playing Wilfried, your attack and musical blend is first class. Love the right-hand technique producing both rhythm and melody, classy rendition.

                  Ditto. Fantastic journey as usual, Wilfried. I heard EP218 unmistakably around 1:13. I agree with Jeff, that 3 chord hook at the beginning really grabbed me. For some reason, this reminded me immediately to the beginning lead in to She’s Not There, by the Zombies. I don’t why, but it just did. Very cool.
                  Great playing (and arranging).

                    Very interesting work Wilfied. I especially like the mix of rhythem with lead runs. Very nice tone as well. – Bret

                      Wilfred,
                      That was crazy good! You have such creative and intriguing ways of bringing sounds together into a cohesive thought/feeling. Wow! I just loved it!
                      I can’t wait for your post each month.
                      Cheers, Debra

                          You’re a creative guy and this was an example of it. Always love the tone of your guitars and your fingers just seem to move effortlessly around the fretboard.

                                      HI Wilfried….OK….I listened to your challenge submission 3 times start to finish….Now everyone on AM knows you’re a player…your tone is beautiful, your dexterity impeccable and your note accuracy off the charts….that said…I think maybe you tried to take advantage of your many guitar talents and squeeze a bit too much into your performance…Just my opinion of course. I am one of your fans and always look forward to your postings. Sometimes they say less is more….
                                      In any case, thanks for sharing your guitar genius with us mere mortals, Wilfried….(LOL) You’re always a pleasure to listen to.

                                      Best!

                                        Hi Wilfried,
                                        I always recognize your clips, the reason is the nice editing and the nice delay you put into your songs and not to mention the flowless smooth rythm you deliver! Great tone and playing!
