        Still looking at the archives I came across this gem! If you want to work on your 16th note rhythm and feel, this is a must IMHO!

        Fun fact, the guitar I’m playing is a guitar a built and colored the body in a red-black burst about a month ago. First recording with her – probably won’t be the last 🙂

          Well played, WPB. One of my old favourites, has that Pink Floyd vibe.
          Nice work on the guitar. What pick ups did you install? I couldn’t quite see the bridge pick up.

            Very nicely played wpb. And that red/black burst has such a deep coloring I was mesmerized watching it as you played.

              That is some great stuff wpb. One of my favorite rhythm pieces from Brian and you really did it justice. Got me thinking I should have a go at it again because it is was a lot of fun to play.

              Nice guitar 🎸

                Hey, thanks for the kind words. I went for Tonerider pickups, specifically Alnico 2 Blues, which have a warmer sound, linked here:

                    Don’t think I’ve heard this one before wpb but you’ve sold me on it. Expertly played and yeah, love the Tele look and sound. All the best! 😎🎸😎

                      An excellent performance of this classic lesson, WPB – I can well remember playing this myself; the only problem I had was that I was enjoying it so much, I didn’t want to stop. 🤣🤣🤣 – Mark 👍🎶😎
