@bibilele – Bravo! Very nicely played 👏

[Andrew]

@gi_gi_ – 😊

@lhamilton – Very nicely played Linda! I have a couple recommendations. First, in section C (Break), keep your right hand in a claw shape when strumming between the taps. That’ll make it a lot easier to do that technique. Which is actually how you did it later in the arr.

Second, I would practice playing with a click. I think that will help tighten the overall timing.

@grannieannie – TY Annie! July will be extra special as it’s our 100th challenge 🙂

@leslieb – You played it so well, Leslie! Feel and timing was great! The only thing I’d do from here is to practice small chunks at a time, focusing on keeping it as steady as possible. Since this song follows a 12 bar blues form, try working on 4 bar sections at a time:

1-4
5-8
9-12

Then, when you feel good with each on its own, try 1-12. Keep up the great work!

@gi_gi_ – I was tapping my foot along the entire time! Timing and groove were impeccable! Really good playing Gigi! And I like the triplet strums you threw in there and the ending changes.

@kanique – Bravo, excellent performance! 👏

[Andrew]

@grannieannie – I loved it Annie! Beautifully played with a gorgeous setting to match 🙂

Try not to be too hard on yourself, we’re always our worst critic.

@brettboy – Amazing performance, Brett! Well done 👏

[Andrew]

@shmu88 – Amazing performance Sam, bravo! 👏

@ccwuke – Very well played, Chris! Feel is spot on! From here, I’d work on fine tuning it. I hear few spots where it could be a little cleaner or the rhythm slips slightly. But honestly, it already sounds great, and I think you’ll have it locked in with just a little more practice (as long as the fam is okay with that 😂).

@The_Bumble_Bard – You should strum more! It sounds really good! Amazing work on this tune! It’s a toughie and you aced it. Really impressive playing, Rachael 👏

Welcome @heilene, glad to have you here with us! I appreciate the kind words and hope to see you in one our monthly challenges 🙂

Feel free to share your original tunes too! I’d love to hear them and I’m sure a lot of folks here would too.

[Andrew]

@rw1950merritt – That was awesome! From here, I’d focus on one section at a time. For example, take Theme 1 and play along with a metronome or with Steven in the tab player. Start at the tempo you recorded and focus on keeping things steady. Once that feels solid, gradually start increasing the tempo. So your main goal right now is building speed.

Keep up the great work! Feel and playing sounded great overall!

@johanna2509 – What a beautiful video and audio performance you’ve made! I loved it! My only suggestion would be to experiment with playing a lil behind the beat – especially with the chords that are strummed. That’ll give the song a little more of a relaxed feel.

And it’s crazy that your phone didn’t fall down with that setup lol 😂

@janaq1 – Bravo Jana! 👏 I’m def gonna feature your performance on our socials this week!

@katazumiri – Loved it! Great drumming too! Perfect beat and groove for this tune 🙂

[Andrew]

@lynnzo – You can use low G 🙂

@marianne – My pleasure!

[Andrew]

@marianne – I think we’re talking about diff sections. Here’s what I meant:

[Andrew]

@marianne – Very well played Marianne! If you didn’t try it out already, in the chorus, for the chords:

Fadd9 (1): 0 9 8 12
Bb6sus2 (1): 0 10 8 8

Try using your middle finger to play the third string notes for both of those chords. That’s how Matt’s doing it and it looks like it makes that section a lot less of a finger frenzy.

[Andrew]

@misterbones – Lots of feel and attitude in your performance and I loved the accented strums! Great playing Michael 👏

@mickan88 – Y’all aced it! Beautifully played 🙂

[Andrew]

@alojzy_bomba – That was awesome! I’ll def be sharing your performance on our socials this week! Great playing 👏

[Andrew]

@anyon1 – That was amazing Adriana! What an awesome start for our June challenge 🙂
