Very nice.

I keep thinking I’m pretty good with my improv and then I see yours and see there is lots of opportunity for improvement. 😀

Thanks for another great solo. You are my inspiration for Wednesdays. I always look forward to what you produce. I mess around trying to come up with something just anything and then listen to your posts. I am awed every time.

@charlie_d, that sounded fantastic! Far better than I was able to pull off on the improv challenge last week. Congratulations, you definitely have a small win there.

  Thank you, @Greg_Weber ! Some weeks work better for me than others and some tracks are a challenge and that’s part of the fun. 🎶

Very nice improv @charlie_d 🤩👏👏👏 I liked the mix of chords and riffs, particularly the riff at around the 1:25 mark – so sweet. I enjoyed listening Charlie, thank you for continuing to post your versions of the Wednesday Improvisatoins🙏

  Thanks, @Bill_Brown ! This was a long one although having a melody of the original song as a cue to follow helped quite a bit. It was a fun backtrack of one of my favourite Blind Faith songs. 🎶
