So awesome @Marisa 😱👏👏 I noticed that this time the crowd was quiet, because they knew they were hearing something great🤩🎸😘

[Bill_Brown]

Great performance @Marisa 👏👏😘 Like Guitargeezer-Jack said, that had to have taken a lot of concentration to play and sing as wonderfully as you did😱👍🎸 To me, those people were so loud and annoying, almost to the point of being rude, but you didn’t let it phase you – that’s what it takes to make an awesome performer🤩😎🤩 and you certainly are that Marisa💐🥂💐

[Bill_Brown]

That was really nice @charlie_d 🤩👏👏 Great melody lines🎸👍 Loved the use of the double stops😘 Your entire improv was well planned and nicely executed😎 I enjoyed listening👂

[Bill_Brown]

Thank you again @Kitman for the kind thoughts. As I said before, I started doing this to try and improve my improv skills. I do know for a fact that @Marty69 would be happy for anyone here to play over his instrumentals and post their results – emphasis on posting the results. In the previous iteration of TAC, posting a performance video was greatly encouraged by TAC and the entire Community. That seems to have slowed way down since the introduction of the current TAC rendition – more philosophy driven than performance driven. A lot of the people you see performing in the VOM’s used to post videos and be more active here in the Forums. For whatever reason (I know the reason but will not say it here), now those people just perform at the VOM’s, and you don’t hear diddley from them here anymore. Sorry to rant, but I think that’s why Marty is trying to “spark” people into posting performance type videos IMHO.

Thanks @stevieblues I appreciate your kind words🤩🎸

[Bill_Brown]

Appreciate your kind words and support @KevinZ 🤩 Thanks for taking time to listen👍

[Bill_Brown]

Yea @Marty69 , not my best work but I’m glad you enjoyed it. I lost tempo and became out of sync with you at a certain point in the recording. I’ll have to look into that ear bud thing. As far as the next one, it’s up to you👍🎸

[Bill_Brown]

Thanks for taking time to listen @Kitman 👍 I appreciate your kind words😎

[Bill_Brown]

You will get there @GerryB56 👍 Have faith in yourself and be persistent, it will happen🎸

[Bill_Brown]

Don’t worry @Mrfredsporty , it will come to you with time. I started doing this because I wanted to improve my improvisation skills. Usually on TAC Wednesdays we learn a scale and a technique to use over the backing track. It’s been few and far between that I’ve been able to put out something worthy of recording for the Wednesday improvs. Then I started trying to play over peoples posts because 1) I could use my FW knowledge to figure the key and from there 2) I could just play notes in that key’s scale using different octaves to see if I could come up with something that sounded nice to me – basically more practice without restrictions. I still have a long way to go to achieve the ability to produce beautiful melodies like some of the other TAC members, but I know it will come with time.

Thanks @Philb , appreciate the kind words and support🤩🎸 Without hearing the words to the song, it was hard for me to stay in sync with Marty’s work. I tried singing the words over his track at first, but that didn’t work out to well (LOL)😱

[Bill_Brown]

Glad to see you back and performing @KevinZ 👍 Hope all is well with you🤩
