Hi Jeff
Will try to upload video later (I am going to try recording video and audio seperately as you suggest but never done that before so fingers crossed!).  Anyway here is an mp3 to show where I am up to with the solo lesson. 
BluesSolotake1.mp3 ( 879.44K )
Number of downloads: 307Any comments suggestions greatly appreciated. Im still working on the last few bars.

Your tone is really nice for playing the blues and this lesson.  Just a few things I noticed where the bends weren't quite there, the vibrato could be better and the timing felt a little off beat. With the blues your timing is everything. You have to be right on the beat because everything usually is at a slower tempo. This all can be fixed with more time practicing this so it's not a big deal. Just a few things to think about while you finish the lesson. It also sounds like your having a problem with your right hand moving up and down. Are you using mostly down strokes where the timing is off? Thanks for the take! You sound like your on the way to becomming a great blues man!   -------------------- "Think of a guitar solo as a paragraph. You need a clear beginning, a middle, and an end. Look at musical phrases like sentences, and make sure you break them up using punctuation—or space. You pause naturally when conversing, right? If you don't, you'll bore the listener. The same thing will happen with your audience if your solo is one dimensional. You'll wear them out and lose their attention." —Tom Principato
