        Trying to throw in some arpeggios in there.

        Live on planet Earth ? You got the blues.

              The blues is so foundational, and when it’s in our favorite key, it’s even better. Pretty good improvisation with the track. There was just one part that was a little off (up in the pattern 5 area), but you recovered nicely. The great thing is how you were focusing on the rhythm aspect of everything which covers all sins.

              That quick one finger triad slide up & down a whole step was very tasteful at the 0:37 minute mark. I’m going to steal that one.

              Go slow and practice correct technique, and your abilities will dramatically improve.

                    Hats off to you Mike, I love listening to slow blues, particularly with that ‘After Hours’ feel. It’s certainly not the easiest to play, especially improvising but you made a cracking job here.

                      Very tasty, Mike. Pro-level blues all the way. Well-articulated arpeggios. Nice! Best of the holidays to you and yours.

                        Very nice indeed Mike 👌.

                        I have to say, I liked your choice of reverb on this. Fattens out the sound really nicely.
