All you can do when really working intimately hard at getting anything like this nice jazzy/blues piece down, Sandie...........is think of the bigger picture and how your skills and ear and feel improve overall........to the point where it nearly becomes second nature!! Also, if everyone could do it..........OK.......now I'm sounding like my mom but you get the picture!! Heck.........before you know it you'll be comfortable enough to start adding octaves ala Wes Montgomery!! Jim C.

Great take Sandie... You are getting better every time we hear you! Nice!

Hello Sandie

So good to hear you playing! You worked hard, I can imagine, but it’s worthwile, as we can hear. Every new song and recording is an important step to improve playing, to „keep the fingers flexibel“. So keep on playing, recording and sharing. I appreciate it very much.

Thanks Birgit

@jncinn Thanks for the words of wisdom and encouragement for this musical journey we are on. 🙂

@jestme Will do Chris. Thanks

@bluesiline Birgit, I always appreciate your friendly words of encouragement. Thank you! 🙂

That is awesome! Really making huge leaps in your playing here. 

See, practice pays off!

I would love to hear you play my Tenor Madness solo and this solo put together as one! 

@robert Thanks, Robert! Practice with the right guidance pays off. Thanks for all your help, and I'll get to work putting the two solos together. 😎 

What kind of guidance did you get? 😀 

The guidance I got was to thoroughly learn the rhythm and hum or sing along. 🙂
