I think this is a good effort but also that you worry too much about 'timing' of the backing piece and adhering to it. Yeah ... my fingers these days miss the strings too pretty often ... but if I don't care too much about it then neither should you! Generally you seem to be more than capable of hitting the right notes but at the same time missing a few of 'em out will likely add to the overall result rather than detract from it. Timing, IMHO, is one of the most important blues concepts to get your head around ... and you are getting closer every post. Your contribution could be less 'up front' on this piece, in order to blend in better with the backing, otherwise it's fine. Keep up the good work!

Nicely done. You're going well / improving well.

I echo what losaavedra says about timing.

Also thinking that so much of the nature of the overall recording comes from the backing track / backing musicians. If you get your timing right and can snake in and out of and around the BT it can add hugely to how bluesy / jazzy / whatever genre it sounds, without you having to work too hard at it. If you can get the recorded sound of the solo to match the recorded sound of the musicians on the backing track so it sounds like you were all recorded together (not an easy task I'll admit) it's yet another step to sounding right without playing any better. Damn - giving away my secrets now!

Thank's for youre comments. I take them to me and will have in mind what you guys are talking about.

I think this is done well and the tone really matches the mood of the BT. Maybe let the notes breathe a little without trying to fill every spot with a note. (This is something I struggle with).
