        I managed to memorise this one within a day. The real hard bit was the 2-string slides and hammer-ons section.

        That said, I really enjoyed this one – it was great fun to learn and a joy to play

            Very, very good. There is absolutely nothing I can find fault with in your performance of this. Beautiful bends, beautiful expression – you are one of the few who can match the quality of sound Brian puts into his lessons.

              Wow… I don’t think there could be a greater complement. Thank you SO much!!!

                  Very nice and very smooth! Memorizing that in one day is an amazing feat in itself!

                      Thanks for the kind words. On this one, yes, I did learn it in a day. It just stuck in my head for some reason.

                      I assure you, this is not normal for me – usually it takes days to get it in my head and make it stick

                        Yes, outstanding performance wpb. This is one of Brian’s finest melodic pieces, definitely a favourite. And great effort to learn in a day, it’s testament to Brian’s sense of melody. One of those pieces that is so good you just want to keep on playing it. Your version is spot on, very clean technically and as always super expressive. All the best!

                          Very soulful performance wpd. Still one of my favorites and you hit it out of the ballpark.

                            One of Brian’s best.
                            You nailed it
                            Well done.

                              The sound of your guitar with the backing track was perfect. Sounded like you were in the band and the vibrato with the bends were awesome. I really enjoyed that.
