          I love it… kind of 70’s vibe going on. Love the opening rhythm and subtle tasty lead chops to follow. So smooth and cool. Love the rake(s) at around 1:00-1:05. Let me in on your secret here. Which scale(s) shapes are you using to play the solo?

              That’s the same track I helped Joe with. Great unique take on this. Not what I would have done, but it sounds good.

              The key of the song is in Em, but chord wise, the song only has one bar of Em9, 2 bars of Am9, 2 bars Bm7. So you can follow the chords and really make it sing or do what Andre did and stay mostly in Em pentatonic. Patterns #1, #4, #3 are in play here.

              If you add the F# note into the mix, it really sounds good over that Bm7 chord along with the D. It’s a great track to work your own magic with.

              Root note patterns >>> CAGED shapes >>> TRIAD'S. Just put in the work and watch your guitar skills soar.

                  Very nice indeed Andre. I always enjoy hearing good rhythm work and you did great on that plus everything else 😉

                    You crafted and played some very nice melodies over this track, alternating them with great rhythm parts and licks, mon ami. You’re able to keep the listener attention throughout the whole piece, thanks to your tasty variations. Just a very enjoyable rendition beautifully played

                      That was super Andrè. Expertly crafted melody following the chords. Nice!

                            Great different vibe Andre. Sounded to me a like a combo of smooth jazz and blues, which I always dig. Your bends and vibrato are right on.
