Hey, GMC!

I just recorded a brief cover of Joe Bonamassa's main solo in "Blues Deluxe".
Here it is:

Here's the original song: (Solo at 03:48)

I'd be glad to receive some ideas and thoughts on what to improve. : )

Greetings!

Sounds like you have a good touch and vibrato. Enjoyed hearing that!

My only comment would be that a couple of the bends at first sounded slightly sharp (:13 and :18), but later on it sounded like all the bends were precise... like the licks from 1:00-1:15. What works for me with powerful blues bends is letting the pick generate more attack for the bend and letting my fretting hand feel more relaxed.

Pretty darn good mate! Dian, I think that DG's thoughts are what I'd say - maybe a little more playing will eventually make it sound even better - you know how it goes with stuff that you learn - if you focus on playing and interpreting more and more, you will make the magic happen
