Hi Rick thanks so much for all the input. I’m afraid I still find all the neck mapping a bit confusing!
Ok Toby I follow that one but where is the b5? Have you left it out for a reason?
Thanks so much Clint that’s really cheered me up. 
I enjoyed your Plinkin’. Cool, mellow and laid back. Real CT stuff.

Purely to demonstrate where those two riffs sit within the minor pentatonic but you know where to find the b5 if you need it and it can be used to colour just like the 2 3 and 6 which then add a Major feel to proceedings. Also that b6 happens to be Bb and the b7 is C which are the root note for the other chords in the main progression.

Thank you sir! I hope to get better as well with a little more refinement. 
I already have some great ideas for more plinkin’, so you guys have helped me get back into the swing of things. Play on playa!

Oh yeah ask in shall be given, thanks for grabbing your electric, sounded superb! Loved those little hammer ons once every now and then. Bends were great in tune, you are a natural Gordon!

Great bends, twiddles and did I see a pull off there as well?
That was tasty stuff Gordon, which is coming on really well.
Well I could not let the other 2 Blues Brothers get away without a response from me could I ?
As the title suggest its “Layla and The T-Bucket”
Hopefully the neck doesn’t resemble a boomerang on this recording but I apologise for the poor sound. Recording wise everything has been set up for the next OM, so I did not want to change too much. Volumes quite low but I was happy with most of the jam bar one huge clam!
Saved the video and then found Fender Fuse had hung on a backup so the acoustic is pretty much DIed but hey ho.
Actually sounds better now its uploaded. As you can hear focus this time was on the motifs.
Comments and feedback welcome.
Cheers
Toby

Hey Toby! I thought this was a nice jam along! Nice job! Lol there was a moment i think you hit a wrong note and you looked up and was like that didnt sound right and you just kept going!!! Best just to keep going also!!! Groovy!
Cheers Byron.
As you can see there is a little Layla-esque fest going on at the moment with me Gordon and David. All part of impro development and better soloing, aided and abetted by @stitch
Yeah that was a real bum note hence the look to the heavens. The last upward glance was checking how much to BT was left, as I kinda always miss the punch line !
Keep rockin man. 
Cheers
Toby
Thats really cool, I could actually hear the Layla in it very good job guys!

It just keeps getting better Toby, well done. All over the neck again with different patterns. Super stuff my man.
Not that I’m a video expert but between the ever increasing trademark graphics and the fish eye door there’s hardly any room left for you! Any more and Layla will have you on your knees!

The Layla dance party swaggers on.
Loved it Toby. Sound quality turned out just fine to my ears.
Observed the return to the signature ta tah dah phrase to start each ‘paragraph’. Makes it feel more coherent, less of a rambling noodle.
I wondered what you were looking up at. I thought maybe your Dm pentatonic-anchored map of intervals, but no, that’s in memory and I figure it was Reaper.
Also noticed you’d ditched the pick in favour of playing with the fingers. Milking yet more value from this opportunity.
As for being a few yards further down the road … I might see it more as miles than yards, but there’s a hell hound on your trail. Now I am back to learning and practice to work towards a next dance using that BT and perhaps an incorporation of position 4.
We’re jamming, jamming till the jam is through
@CT @batwoman Thank you wonderful peeps ! 
@DavidP That “signature” is just of the Am C link back to the main looped progression and its a simple 5 b7 R to walk back to the Dm root. I’ll sketch out the other repetitive riff later once the dog’s been walked. Yeah there was one howler look to the heavens and the last one was like when the band members all look round at one another and nod to signify wind up time. My cue is to check how much BT is left to run !! There’s no way I could follow the “map” while playing, as I’d sure drive into something, reference and prep only ! The steady thumb work was more about keeping the noise down, as not a good day for the missus but added some texture, just need to engage the fingers but working on that. 
Video play back sounded a bit low but as you say was ok via YouTube.
Errands to run so back later. 
Great stuff Toby, really enjoyed it. One of my favourite songs (and I’ve never tried to play it).
Rod.
Thanks Rod. BTW neither have I just making all this up.
