        This piece seemed to look easy, but the real learning in it is the timing and the understated nuances of the played notes IMHO. I hope I managed to capture all that with feeling.

        Really pleased with the amp tone I got – and it appears I like to rake the strings when going for a bent note 🙂

          Seems like you pay attention to the small details and that makes all the difference. I really liked the bends and subtle vibrato. Very well done 👌

            Good job with the rakes and bends…I still can’t rake…yet.

              Nice playing WPB! It’s cool when someone goes back and reminds us of these lessons from a few years ago. You definitely capured the feel of this one! Thanks for sharing.

                Yes, it’s the details that make the difference—and you can really hear that in your playing. Great performance.
