    I agree, @guitarben. I also got a bit concerned about @UncleHammy not being around for so long. So let's continue his initiative till he is back. Wim.

    Thanks, Neil. Many LMG elements come together when learning these blues solos: lessons 13 (blues) and 19 (soloing), the Speed and Agility workouts and the LMBG course. They all pay off in the end ?. Wim.

    This is the 5th solo from the BGU blues course. It's again in G, and combining major and minor pentatonics. One more solo to learn, and then up to a Classic Rock course. Wim.

    Wow @Old Guy, I am really impressed. Your playing is at professional level. I like the jazzy tone of your jam. Wim.

    Well done, @Nutty 1. I really like the sound of both your guitar and your voice. Wim.

    Thanks for your nice words and useful comments, @Old Guy and @NeilES335. I did some post processing and added delay and reverb. Below is the new version. I think it sounds better indeed. Robben Ford on our Live Lessons! That's something to look forward to. I like his mix of blues and jazz. Take care. Wim.

    This Slow Blues in G - solo was a long one to learn to play by heart and I had to go back to daily practice on pull-offs to get some tricky legato parts under my fingers. In this solo, the G major pentatonic is played over the 1 Chord and the G minor pentatonic over the 4 and the 5 Chord. Thanks for listening. Wim.

    I wish you all the best on your guitar journey, Jeff. It is indeed much more about consistent practice than about talent. Wim.

    Another great one, @WATSON43. In the past I also got nervous just by pressing the record button in Garageband. But I must say it has improved. Now I just do several takes of a song and select the best one, or I cut and paste the best parts of different recordings into a final track. Wim.

    @NeilES335 That's great, Neil. Really nice work on the chords and the melody. I enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing. Wim.

    Thanks, @Yggdrasilium Keep up the good work on L&M, it's definitely worth it. Wim.

    @RichLich, Your plan shows great dedication to further develop your guitar skills! What helps to stay focused and motivated is to set medium to long term goals on specific music styles you want to master, and then work on the skills required for that. Wim.

    Very nice playing and singing, Henk.

    Well played, Randy. Nice song. Wim.

    Thanks, @NeilES335. The recording was in 4 tracks: one for the chords, one for a simple bass line, one for the first part of the solo with a little reverb, and a last one for the second part of the solo with lots of reverb. It was done in two evenings of fun and experimenting. Wim.

    "Green Onions" has been used extensively in television, film and advertising, so I am glad that it fits into the challenge for this month. I tried to mimic the organ by plucking chords. It was a real fun one to learn. Wim.

    That sounds fantastic, Kevin and Isa. Your voices blend very well. Great guitar playing as well. Making music together and sharing the passion is one of the best things in life. Wim.

    Last year, I got to know Stig Trip as finalist in the "guitar player of the year 2018" contest. He is an amazing guitar player. This is the latest video on his YouTube channel. He is swapping pick-ups in the middle of a beautiful looper arrangement. Wim.

    Thanks Neil. I just started learning a solo in BB King style on "The thrill is gone". It's 24 bars long, so it will take a while to learn to play it from memory. How is your guitar journey going? Wim.

    Thanks, Danny.

    In LMG session 18, Steve teaches us how to jazz up chord progressions. That background, together with the Jazz Chords Fretboard Workout, helped me a lot when learning this slow blues. Thanks for listening, Wim.

    Great playing, @Amy Greenblatt. Thanks for sharing. Wim.

    A bit more than 2 years ago, I was working my way through session 6 of LMG and The Song Hits and recorded this Silver Bells. I wish you all a nice Xmas season. Wim.

    Thanks, Old Guy, the fretting hand muting is the biggest challenge to me. Wim.
