Blues shuffle in A tryout solo.
https://youtu.be/lFV6mqP7rfY?is=cPcXfDIZIFvTaX5n Link to the backing. Not really rehearsed….just kind of going for it…hoping for some energy if not total accuracy. Bit of going down to Maj third…stolen from Red House. Mistakes for free as always. Trying to incorporate some of your ninths and semi-tone bend ideas? I think it’s rough….but got to get into it somewhere.

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! 🤦♂️

No worries Ben. I hope you feel better soon. As for what day it is... It's new guitar day!

June 25 call cancelled?
Just wondering if I clicked the wrong link or if today's call was cancelled?

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 🤣

Actually Rachel, the Gibson is always the right choice 😀 Well, in my little corner of the basement it is. Iain will disagree. Maybe Ben too... Nice job on the improv. I think these slow blues are so much fun to spend time on. It give a bit of time to think about what's coming up, and for me a bit easier to follow the chords. I like those double-stop slides you were rocking. I'm stealing them. Thanks for posting! Cheers, Rob

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...

Well done Rachel. You seem remarkably comfortable with the fingerings and moving around the fretboard. Does it feel comfortable to you? I started with a tempo no quicker than what you're playing, and gradually worked my way up. It got easier with practice, as I'm sure you've experienced too. Thanks for posting!
