Wim,
That was great and sounded very nice. Good play and nice tone on the guitar! Enjoyed this mellow offering from you. I would like to see your fretting hand on this one. Sounds like some good hammer on/off work going on in spots…

Keep rock’n,
LB

Hi LB,

An extra challenge on these 16th notes was to play the F# thumb over neck to keep the bass going at the same time. That lick took a lot of practice :grinning:

Very coool playing, tone and vibe. I like that spot 1:40 to 1:50. Well done!

I truly enjoyed listening to that! Such a great groove and easy going feel that at the same time had of lot of energy and movement.

Is that your own arrangement? How did you learn to play something like that?

Great job!

Thanks, Garry.

I have developed a particular interest in learning laid back solo fingerstyle blues and there are not many resources available that focus on this niche.
On Truefire I found the courses from David Hamburger that I worked on for about one year. Now I have a paid membership on his Fingerstyle 5 learning platform and that’s my main resource for learning to play this style of blues. The arrangement is build on elements that I took from the Fingerstyle 5 lessons.

All the best,

Wim.

That’s cool that you built the arrangement yourself out of what you’re learning in the course. The internet is such an incredible resource for finding quality teachers to learn so many things, Justin Guitar being a prime example of course!

Thank you again for the music!
