Hangout
Hi All, Unfortunately, I cannot make our weekly hangouts for the next two weeks 😒, so you can put the wine glasses away 🤣 This Thursday, going to a live Blues evening. A great Blues guitarist (Ripoff Raskolnikov) is playing, seen him a couple of times and he's great. Next week in Germany visiting the Thomann store (looking at all the wonderful guitars) I'm in the market for a tele.... Have fun and see you in a couple of weeks. I'll watch on catchup and see what I missed...

Have a great holiday in Scotland. Love Scotland, especially all the little lakes everywhere in the mountains. Did the NC 500 as a road trip once...
Some slower Peter Green blues.
Playing to a backing track. “60’s British Slow Blues [A] Jam Track” on YouTube. Basically ‘Need Your Love So Bad’. Some of his ideas, though probably more my own phrasing….then a bit of improv. Mistakes included. Oh Well…… and that’s another tune!🙄👍🎸

Hi Iain, One of my favourite songs, really enjoyed your improv after the opening solo section. I did a video as well of both the opening and closing solo for the song. Really enjoyed it 👍😀
Improvisation in D Major
Done a improvisation in D Major, not really bluesy but has more emotion to it. I cut it short as I get to much into the flow.... Was supposed to be using my Strat for this song, but a string broke while recording so I changed guitars... I'll do the restring tomorrow 🤣

Ahh Thank you, I appreciate the comment. 😀👍
My take on 'The Stumble'
I slowed it down and changed some of the voicing as I thought I'd take some artistic liberties 🙈 It's not the best but still some work to do on it.....Some of the timing was a little out...
