Really cool backing to jam to. Here is what I came up with today.

Here is my take on it. A bit slow compared to DeGroot but maybe I can open for him (?) Ok give me a chance I'll try to speed up next time!

Amazing job everybody! I love your phrasing and can hear a lot of progress in your playing!!!

The first solo is played by DeGroot
You did a great job! Very nice phrases and the run you did in the middle was killer! Great tone and great dynamic!!!
The Second solo played by JPBluestring
Man that was very impressive at first it sounded like you din't have a melody but when you resolved it just made total sense! Great playing!!! I think you can improve your tone a little bit more so you can have more dynamic in your playing but everything else was just great!
The third solo is played by vonhotch
You really impressed me! It felt like you told me a story! Very nicely It was like you wrote a song and it was very good!
A few timing issues but you are on the right rack! Keep it up!
The third solo is played by ElHombre
Great performance you had some amazing moments and I liked the way you have developed the solo!
I think you still can work on your timing and sound but you are absolutely getting there! I really liked what you did!
Great job!

Thank you very much for participating! You all did a great job! See you in the next collab!
