Feedback
Gabriel Leopardi25th August 2015Hi Robert, I've checked the tabs and there is nothing wrong compared to what Jonathan plays in the main video. On the slow video part he adds two extra notes on low E string but these ones are not played over the backing so forget those 2 extra notes and practice the lick as it's tabbed.
By the way, let me know if you need any more help.
RobertAtGmc24th August 2015Oops, my last feedback was wrong. I was it that missed two notes earlier and so I played it wrong! :-( Sorry, but I learned a lot and we are going to use this lick as a building block for a song. With permission? :-)
- RobertAtGmc15th August 2015
I enjoy to play this! But mind the omissing two notes in the tabs on the E-string 7-5 in part 3 at the end of the lick... Nobody noticed?...
JD_22nd April 2012Just Perfect in every way... WOW indeed!

Awesome Lesson!
Thanx Jonathan. 
Ivan Milenkovic27th November 2010Awesome lesson, I love those lines, they are so smooth and nice sounding!
Alexiaden9327th November 2010I can't say I had forgotten your extremely tight playing and sweet tone, although it's a long time since the last lesson, Jonathan! Your rhythm playing is seriously cooler than many solos I've heard, and the backing track really added to the legendary sound of this composition! Great to see you are still with us, amigo!
- playaxeman27th November 2010
