A round of applause from the crowd here, Floyd.
Perfect tone.
Vic Thanks, Vic. I really enjoyed that. Especially the struggle. The struggle is real.
Nice job.... Those "vacations" are great opportunities to focus on musical things. Glad you enjoyed it. If you're not an awesome guitar player, Floyd, you sure coulda fooled me.
Also, the web presentation is perfect. One click and there we go. Appreciated. Really liked this Floyd. Solid jam, and it has really feeling. That is what matters most.
Also love that tone. Thanks, David

"Thursday, September 19, 2024 turned out to be one of the best days of my life.
My wife left that morning."
Man, Floyd, you sure know how to start a story to grab the readers attention. You do that with your songs, too.
Hey, noodling is often the best part of a good soup. Those rabbit holes you mention are probably important, especially as your blisters develop. hehe Left brain stuff is for learning how to do it right, while that wild and crazy right-brain guy in us who imagines playing in front of thousands of screaming fans is the drive that stifles that boredom.
When I hopped over to your sock dance I could hear the passion in the blisters. Dang, if you didn't say anything, I'd say you've been playing for years, and those are hardened callouses we hear. I REALLY like your taste, but that's certainly no surprise becuase of all the other evidence you've given us. As Dave mentioned, those bends are so good they say, "I've been playing guitar since I was 3." Gotta learn those little marketing ploys.  I was a bit concerned I might sound like a hack. Thanks for alleviating those fears I have been playing almost since I was 3. But the first 65 years, I sucked. If this is the first time out of the box for instrumentals...I'll bet there's a lot of great stuff still in there...really fine production...great tone! Thanks, Dan. Nice to have folks like this tone... Hi, floyd jane. First, I love the back story and the intro. Ha!  Second, that's some tasty playing. That guitar sings! Congratulations! Music to my hears, David.... floyd,
Now you know that, you can try mixing the blues scale and the major pentatonic scales together for some added fun. Same shapes different positions on the neck.
Sounds good.
Peter Thanks. That intro story was a definite rabbit hole, shock & then realization thing to read.
You sound like you were born playing lead with bits of Santana and many others haunting the fingers.
There was plenty to hod attention in the flow...much more cohesive than most BIAB soloist instrumentals.
My 1st thought was to wonder if I could get you to play lead o a song for me.
Everything fine is resource in my greedy head. Truly appreciate those thoughts. Give me a bit more time...and we'll talk

Floyd, those were some very impressive chops!
Loved that axe's tone, great work on that patch.
A very impressive first instrumental post.
PS - You can take one minor pentatonic pattern and play the same pattern up 2 frets and/or up 7 frets and it will work, i.e. sound OK. Be moving the pattern you are adding different extensions to the chord. Much appreciated, Mario. Thursday, September 19, 2024 turned out to be one of the best days of my life.
My wife left that morning. Deliberately taken out of context, hehehe. Your wife will hate me About the song, I fully agree with what Dave said (he is a guitarist after all): It's all about the feel and the notes you don't play. All very tasteful. More! Thanks, BD Really well done Floyd. Excellent playing. Loved the tone. Got a real chuckle with your description of your fretting hand after a marathon. Poor fingers can taking a beating especially if you are using lots of bends. Very cool jam. Easy to get lost in it.. Thanks, Scott. I feel like I got a decent report card from the guitar guys...

Happy feet dancing all over the house!!
The nice chops, tone and bending resulted in a soulful and happy jam.
We enjoyed the write up and the well mixed band.

Sounds good, Floyd. Much better than me. I just play rhythm, and I don't think I do that well much anymore. Anyway, I enjoyed your soloing.

Great jam Floyd. I like Tim Pierce a lot as well. I know he's been around for years, but I only recently discovered him. Any chance of you sharing where to find that video you were watching that inspired this? Also I was wondering if you were playing through a processor, pedals or added the effects after they were recorded? It's a great sound. I like the lead you put over the backing track. Not so many notes it becomes confusing, but enough to keep you interested and wondering what's coming up next. Glad you gave it a try and looking forward to hearing more of your guitar work!
Brad

Hi floyd.
This is great listening. It's hard to believe that it's your first-ever instrumental. The music flows so effortlessly and sounds so polished. While I don't know too much about guitars, I do know a bit about good music and I'm thoroughly enjoying your playing. In addition, the backing you have created is superb. You really have a well-honed knack for fine production. I'm really impressed with what I'm hearing.
