I also want to include this video as an entry to @jumpinjeff ‘s “Funny Guitar Face Challenge”.🤣 I’ve been meaning to do something like this for a while.

Good Guitar Face there @Bill_Brown . : )

[Bill_Brown]

Thanks @jumpinjeff 👍 I think it’s a pretty good entry, don’t you🤣

[stevieblues]

That was a great improv Bill_Brown! 👏 🎸😎

Nice guitar face too! 👏😎

[Bill_Brown]

Thanks @stevieblues for taking the time to watch my video performance. I was just trying feel the the beat of the back track while playing, and you saw the visual results 😱

[Kitman]

Great improv @Bill_Brown . Bends, vibrato, guitar face – you have it all! Your guitar came through loud and clear! Thanks for posting and great job! 😀

[Bill_Brown]

Thanks for taking time to listen @Kitman 🎸😎

Bill-

Awesome! You are “in the zone” right there- and lovin’ it!

Inspirational.

Thanks for sharing!

[Bill_Brown]

Thanks for the kind words @the-old-coach 👍 I appreciate it😃

[Jonathandavid]

Nice improv Bill_Brown! You really got into the groove there! Nice quakers on the notes too.

[Bill_Brown]

Thanks @Jonathandavid 👍 I was just trying to feel the beat while playing🎸🎼😎

[Cadgirl]

What a great job you did with this improv! Sounded great!

[Bill_Brown]

Thanks @Cadgirl 👍 Hope you enjoyed it😎🎸

[Mrfredsporty]

Very nice. I like the up the neck stuff.reminded me a little of Bill Withers “Ain’t no sunshine when you’re gone”

[Bill_Brown]

Thanks for listening (and watching) @Mrfredsporty , When I did the bend on the 17th fret hiE string, I backed off slightly because I didn’t want to risk breaking the string😱🎸

[Mrfredsporty]

yes I understand. Life with a guitar can be very dangerous.🙃

[bugmeist]

Really good…especially the bends and vibratos. Wish I could get my picking thumb to behave that well.

[Bill_Brown]

Thank you for watching @bugmeist 👍 I appreciate the kind words. I stopped playing with a pick (for the most part) earlier this year, so when I played single notes, the thumb was naturally taking the lead. I’ve now developed a callus on the side of it from using it so much🤣🎸😎

That’s pretty cool, Gravy Boat, I’ll have to watch for that one, sounds great!!

[Bill_Brown]

Thanks for pulling up this “blast from the past” video RickyZ🤩👍 I hope when this Wednesday improv challenge comes around again, you’ll be feelin it enough to post a vid also🤘🎸

[Marty73]

Now that was nice Bill!!! 😊😊😊🍸😎

[Bill_Brown]

Thank you @Marty72 🙏

[Philb]

Sweet! Tasty choice of notes; using the vibrato and bends; bluesy. Well done!

[Bill_Brown]

Thanks @Philb . I appreciate your comments🤩🎸🤘

[Marquita]

Great sound, Bill! Love that you used a metronome. It’s a great assist with timing…

[Bill_Brown]

Thank you @Marquita . I don’t want to disappoint you, but I didn’t use a metronome, just my foot and the beat of the backing track. If you heard one in the background, it was Tony using a percussive beat 😉

[Marquita]

You did well regardless of who was keeping time… a gnome or a foot… haha…

[charlie_d]

That was fun and bluesy @Bill_Brown . Really like your vibrato action. Nicely done 🎶👍

[Bill_Brown]

Thank you @charlie_d for taking the time to listen (and watch)🙏 For me, the backing track was simple and had a slow and easy (blues) flow, giving enough time for each musical phrase to breath (vibrato & all). 🎸🤘

[charlie_d]

👍

[Marisa]

Very nicely done! That vibrato is killer! Sounded great, thanks gor posting. ✌🏼

[Bill_Brown]

Thank you @Marisa for stopping by 😘 and listening. I know that you’re always busy so I do appreciate that you took the time. This was a fun backing track to work with and I do enjoy playing the blues 🎸🤩

[tamaracrazywoman]

Great sound, and nice vibrato. I always enjoy a good improvisation. 🎸 🎶

[Bill_Brown]

I’m glad you enjoyed it @tamaracrazywoman 😉 Thank you for listening 🙏
