You are such a versatile guitarist. I can here some Mark Knopfler-ish vibrato in there. Very moving.

Hey GMC!
THE PROFESSOR Getting that smooth, Southern Comfort soul into your playing, as you can hear in this lesson by Sinisa, often comes down to mixing in a bit of Major Pentatonic Scale ideas with your minor pentatonic ideas that you would normally fall back upon with a chord progression such as this. You can hear Sinisa jam with this sound over the G chord, where he plays the notes G, A and B, all notes of the G Major Pentatonic Scale.
So, to pour yourself a bit of Southern Comfort the next time you’re jamming over a tune, dig into the Major Pentatonic Scale System for some ideas that will take your playing in this style to that next level.
