        This track was created on the basis of EP 211. I tried to add other chords to these. My greatest task is to get the transitions and is currently my goal. I hope it is harmonious in the whole. Maybe you like it.

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

          Of course we like it Wilfried! I especially liked the passage around the 2 minute mark. I wasn’t familiar with EP211, Brian puts them up so quickly that I cant keep up – you sure made it your own and as always seemingly effortless played.

            We did like it! Had my head bobbing to it.
            I also did not recollect 211 but reviewed it after listening to yours.
            You did make this one your own and I’m betting Brian is pleased to hear where you’ve gone with his lesson.
            Great post, Wilfried.

              Really good, Wilfried–Great! I actually liked your transitions and extra chords best. After 2:00 minutes and to the end, reminded me of Beatles songs–not sure which, Dear Prudence?, something like this?
              Very creative, very enjoyable.

                Nice work, Wilfried. As they say in Germany, you are the fingerpickingacoustictonemeister.

                      Wilfried – Beautiful, as always. I believe your tempo was a bit quicker than EP211, but you didn’t seem to have any problems making it work. I liked the whole submission, but from the 2 minute mark until the end was especially melodic.

                                          Wilfried,

                                          This is very impressive. I find this type of fingerstyle very difficult myself, you master it completely.

                                          Rgds Peter
