September 2020 Challenge Response – Jaime

[jaimeiniesta]

This was a real challenge to me – I thought this was an easy one, but to my surprise, I had serious difficulties with this one. Trying to keep up with the chord changes and thinking fast for another short lick is not something I had practised much. Now I know one of my weak points so let’s work on this!

[Phil B]

Well Jaime your difficulties weren’t too apparent on this showing. Your timing was good and you employed a variety of licks that fitted well into the backing track. Well done.

[David R]

Nice jaime, seem to get more fluid further into the tune. I think most people found it bit of a challenge this month. Onto next one.

[Lights]

Great stuff, Jaime! Your Pacifica rings really gorgeous.
Lights.

[Mike D]

Sounds fantastic …good job!

Live on planet Earth ? You got the blues.

[AndréM]

Jaime your timing was perfect.
I didnt see any difficulties.
Great tone my friend.

In the end it worked out pretty well; cool licks, Jaime. Thumbs up!

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

I think this was great, Jaime! All the licks were totally yours, very bluesy and sounding awesome. I guess it was a challenge for players at any level. The results of hard work are showing through though, so it was worth it 🙂

I agree with everything you said. I’m in the same boat. You didn’t let it discourage you and your submission turned out great! Challenge overcame. Good job!

Nothing wrong with that jam session Jaime, kept with the tempo and added some tasty licks…well done

[Pap]

Jaimie, really nice work. I loved the style of lead you played. Cheers. Pap

[Richard S]

Well done Jaimie. You kept the groove with Brian going and played some nice responses to his licks. Hard work pays off as you have shown.

[Garry]

Hey Jaime I know it was a challenge but you made it look easy. A variety of cool licks with a fantastic sound from your guitar setup and technique. All the best!

[John H]

Nice licks Jaime. They rolled smoothly off your fingers.

[Laurel C]

It’s interesting that even AM jammers found this challenging. You delivered a great set of stylish licks and as always made it look easy.

[Cholls]

Sounded very practiced! Great way to pass the time and listen to these submissions! Thanks for your post!

Sounded very good to me Jaime, timing sounded right on and licks flowed very well.

[Bob Utberg]

Well done Jaime. Yes, it is “simple” in theory, but so much harder than it looks. You did great and like JoLa said, Bluesy and made it all you own! Nice work. Bob

Good job, Jaime! Nice licks, steady rhythm! Really like the sound of your guitar!

I like your licks, there is always this little weird bend that give a strong bluesy touch.
Great (as usual?!)

Where does the white go when snow melts?

[sunjamr]

Well played Jaime. As you said, I think this challenge shows us where some of our weak spots lie.

Jaime,
No need for a disclaimer, you filled these in great, right on time. This would be one to keep practicing to, the licks come easier.

Good job!

Bruce

Just focus on the notes you DID get right . . . Frank Vignola

[Dave K]

Excellent, Jamie! Listening to that, I would never think this style of playing was a ‘weak point’ in your playing as you mentioned. It sounded perfect to me. Well done!

[Craig S]

Jaime you nailed it.
Your timing was excellent.
Great licks and great tone.
Well done.

Wish You Were Here

[Israel U]

Excellent licks, loved it!
