Hi all, I am glad I ran across this channel by chance and is good to see Ben, Iain and Rob again. I am a retired Firefighter that spends much of my time on guitar (when the arthritis in my hands cooperates) trying to play blues with influences from the three Kings, Clapton, Peter Green, Hendrix, Blackmore, Page, Gibbons. My primary guitars are reproductions of an early 60’s Fender Strat, Gibson Les Paul R9 and a Suhr T Style. I run everything into a Fractal FM3 paired with a Fender FR10 FEFR cabinet. I sold a lot of stuff last year; guitars, tube amps and pedals that I wasn’t enjoying and just went to this setup. I really enjoy creating sounds with the Fractal and trying to see how close I can get to a guitar sound from a record. I record into Logic Pro with a simple camera into QuickTime and edit everything with iMovie. Take care and look forward to interacting with everyone.

@Blue Horizon Welcome Michael. Glad to have you here. I believe this channel is going to be a really good environment to learn from Ben and the other members. We all share a love of guitar and the blues. Take care.
So sorry guys!
I’m so sorry guys, the live call completely passed me by today. I’ve been really poorly with a horrible virus since Tuesday and today has been the worst day. I just completely lost track of time and even what day it is, I’m so sorry! 🤦‍♂️

Get to feeling better. Catch you next week.
Feedback. Improv. Change of tempo. Slow and melodic, then rock lead solo.
Dave Matthews Band Watchtower backing track. Slow tempo then changes up. Nice to play over. Trying for melodic ideas then more dynamism in the fast section. Any tips welcome. Trying to vary phrasing a bit. Not all eighth notes. Conscious of losing the time a little bit when trying fast picking….but maybe get away with it?

Hey Iain, it has been a few months since I have watched one of your videos on that other place but your playing is really sounding wonderful. I can hear lots of improvement in your technique and feel. Excellent job. Take care. Bill
