BGU Solo 6 jmin

[jmin]

Well..it ain't perfect, but after over 50 takes (literally) I decided this is as far as I can work on this lesson. I really was hoping to "nail" the last solo of BGU, but that's going to be awhile (if ever). Since I still have three more BGU lessons, then the supplements, I figure I'd best be moving on if I hope to complete BGU this year.

So, with a few hiccups, here is Solo 6.
Thanks for listening!

Sounded really good. If I can play solo 6 half as good as you when I get to that point I would be a happy camper.

 

[Steve G]

You did a nice job on a really challenging solo jmin!

 

[OG_Blues]

jmin - excellent playing on that solo!!! Great job.

[Jalapeno]

Awesome!!

 

[jmin]

Thanks for the encouraging words, guys!

Thanks for playing and sharing jmin, To me it's what is great about the forum, that is getting to hear how others are doing, particularly with the lessons. I am running a bit behind but I hope to tackle this one again very soon, but your playing it reminded me there is a bit in it so we will see.
Any way your work on it is excellent, you should be very happy.

 

[jmin]

Thanks, john! I have to admit, I am very happy about where BGU has gotten me to! When I began working on Solo 6, I realized that I wasn't as intimidated as I had been with all of the other solos. I think something is finally sinking in! Great course!

Hey Jmin.
I've only been visiting the forum occasionally over the summer. It's pretty evident that I've been missing out on some darn good blues. That was excellent playing. The tone, the feel and your style......you put a lot of love into this one. Keep them coming!

 

[jmin]

Hey, Ivan! Thanks...and we've been missing out your darn good blues!

 

[david moon]

That was really good. If I had to nit pick, there were a couple of spots toward the end in the fast runs where your rhythm was a tad off from the backing track, and maybe a couple of bends that didn't quite make their "target" note.

If you're like me, you are your own worst critic, so you probably know what you weren't happy with. But I agree, sometimes you just need to say this is as good as it gets (for now) and move on.

Congratulations on finishing BGU! There ought to be diploma or something...

 

[jmin]

David, Thanks! Yeah, I was still flubbing one thing or another, but I decided I'd move on...thanks for listening and commenting!
And, I agree...I was looking forward to a "graduation ceremony" and official admission, by Griff, into the BGU Blues Society!

My favorite Graduation Day Song

Great guitar part and player!

Really well done. This one is tough, it cooks along pretty fast. Great work!

Really sounds good, you are on the right path, good work.

 

[jmin]

Thanks, Alang! I think that following Griff's roadmap is the right path for me!

 

[Steely Glen]

Having just recorded this, I'm blown away at how fluid this rendition is. Excellent work here, my friend!

 

[jmin]

Thanks, Steely!

 

[Thatman]

Great tone, loved the bends and the note run at the end was brill. Well done, enjoyed that one.

 

[Sailin]

First Class!..... hope I can do as well when I get to this one.

 

[jmin]

Hey, sailin, Thanks! Wow! It’s been over two years, and to be honest, I’m not sure I could still play this!
I’m sure you’ll be able to do it justice when the time comes. Enjoy!
