Very cool john. You did a great improvisation. Dynamic and imaginative with great runs on the fingerboard. Very well improvised with a pleasant sound my friend.
Play guitar just like you live; don't get bogged down in theory, it's just a tool without feeling.

Just fabulous John, your flawless rendition of that lesson, with a beautiful tone, was superb. I think that’s your best to date, the bar’s been lifted.

Yes that was top notch. Such smoothness up and down the fretboard.

First of all: GREAT SONG CHOICE… You had me on the first chord. The solo is way cool. I am writing this as I listen and holy crap you are crushing this! You are a great player! I could listen to this all day. Your tone that you dial in is perfectly crunchy/dirty, love the delay and reverb. Seamless performance. I’m coming to Jersey. Which exit??

That was powerful, John. Your picking skills were on full display, not to mention that left hand. I agree that’s one of your finest.

Very nice, John! Great playing there! That reminds me of Clapton’s ‘woman tone’ with the tone control turned down! Very good job!

I love listening to all the contributions on the Monthly Challenge and I can learn from them all, but there are a few players that I know are go to solid gold, and you are one of those few John. I could spend all of next month exploring your playing on this and not reach the end. Thank you John.

John, you’ve jumped back the future with EP431 – maybe I should call Brian and say ‘Listen to this !’ so he can be inspired 🙂 😉 . Anyway you master EP341 impressively ! A pleasure to listen to.
BTW, envious of your American PRS !

Well done Sunburst John. You have really outdone yourself this time. At what point do you quit your day job and do this for a living?
