great job man, I envy you. I play well but I’m not a blues man if you know what I mean. don’t worry about what others say about "feeling" the music and crap like that, you seemed fine to me, and anyways its just a jam like you said. and the only thing the kid that beat you did was have whammy bar panic attacks.

Props for steppin’ up…takes some balls.

Tone was good enough and licks/ability was there. You were just playing over some transitions, not all. I’d like to see more attention to letting the song come through more, moments where you don’t play are relevant. Bad notes near the end.

So, more rehearsal equals polish. That said, at times I can’t quite recapture the magic of the first improvise. There’s where the work lies in talent. You gotta get tight, no lose ends bro.

It’s funny how some folks here have made comments about what blues was ment to be when in fact it is the musician who determines what notes are to be played and when – no matter what the genre. You can take it or leave it. Great blues tone and the improv was not bad by the way.

I kno what you mean about getting stuck in patterns, sometimes I just start improvising but without any scales cause I might get board of my playing. And I would’ve played through that blonde colored crate palomino amp lol.

Well done that is really good you deserve first, I came on this page cause i was looking at lace sensors, In my opinion lace sensors are the best sensors you can get.. apart from the american strat original pickups, but they are really american kind of sound, i like the bluesy sound of the lace pickups.

It also doesn’t have to be virtuostic or that impressive either, it just has to make sense emotionally. This is where all those years of practicing phrasing comes in (not just licks!). Just my 2 cents. Nice vid though!

I’m not commenting about the video, But what’s to enjoy about blues if there’s nothing to say? It becomes bland and LOSES feeling, at least for the listener. Blues is a genre that is full of raw emotion and is meant to be portrayed that way. I believe the enjoyment of blues comes from listening to what the instrument is saying with the NOTES (has nothing to do with Green Day’s politics).
