        Hello AM friends,

        Challenge: ”Emotions”

        My challenge is call “Joy & Sadness”

        Joy because I have the chance to play my dream guitar.

        Sadness because I will have to return it soon to her owner.

        For the time being I am holding on tight to it. Squeezing it as much as I can.

        Played on Gibson ES-335 with a bit of reverb, delay and a pinch of OD from a Spark preset.
        BT is provided by Quist.

        There is a few bumps on the road near the end.
        I had to re-play 2 phrases I didn’t like, so there is a change in the video when I added the new videos.

        Enjoy, hope you like it.

          Beautiful solo, Andre! I like that repeating theme with the harmonized 6th. Great solo!!!
          That is really an absolutely great sounding and looking guitar! Love the sustain.

          More Blues!

            As smooth as butter! Nicely played as always.

            I’m sad you have to give the Gibson back too, it sounds great. You thinking of getting anything to fill the void once it’s gone?

              Fantastic as always. You have a knack for filling large swaths of time and keeping things fresh. Sorry about the guitar 😢
