Very nice improv, @Topher

Great job 👍 -
Great performance, @Loraine 👍
Correction: You can play guitar, chew gum and sing 😀
Sorry I could not make it to the VOM. -
Great playing, @Ricky 👏
Terrific sound in that 00-12.
Always interesting to hear an all mahogany guitar.
This one has got tremendous clarity and sustain 👍 -
Love this, @Jonathandavid
Very melodic with a really nice flow 👏

Great improv, @charlie_d
I like how you hold on to the pinch picking to get the drone sound 👍 -

Thank you, @Marty69 , @asaspades and @crabby 😀
I bought the Yamaha SLG200S as a “silent” and light guitar for practicing scales on the couch, but it has turned out to be very versatile 👍

Awesome strumming, @DavidScoggins 😎
One of my favorite songs. -
Awesome performance of a great song, @realkurt 👏
You have got the half-yodel (don’t know what else to call it) down pat.When I was searching the market for my first acoustic guitar in decades six years ago, I had problems with the all-mahogany guitars I tried out – they sounded to dry for me.
Seems like I just tried the wrong guitars.
This one sounds really lovely – Congratz 😀 -
Thank you, @bugmeist 😀

Thank you, @Jonathandavid
I really appreciate your feedback 🙏 -
Thank you @Bill_Brown for your kind words🙂
Concerning how long I practiced the riffs, I will quote myself from back in October 2017, when I was asked the same question:
“This solo has actually been a big eye-opener for me, as I feel I had problems with a wobbly rhythm, especially in the last third.
I had nicked some bluesy licks I already knew and put them in here – I suppose that is normal practice – but I normally play the licks at almost double speed.
It turned out to be surprisingly difficult to throw away the muscle memory and play them more slowly with the backgroud track.“So I cheated and used some licks I already knew 😂

Thank you @Dan D# (damn – the @-reference thing does not seem to work with nicknames containing a space – so you will probably not be notified about this answer 🙁)
It feels a bit like cheating, just reissuing an old improv, but I only made two in 2017, and then none for the following three years, so I thought it interesting to see whether I could spot any improvement.
I played classical guitar for a long period (plus all the camp fire singing going on as well), and I think that trained my pinkie up to almost the same strength as the other three fingers .
Sorry about your loss – you are coping awesomely 😎 -
Thank you @Loraine for your kind words.
Much appreciated 🙂
