Hello fellow TG'ers.
I have been working this one for a few days now. It is really fun, I recommend it to all of you if you have not tried it yet. It is full of challenges, going from fingerpicking arpeggio's to playing lead riffs and executing bends and double bends! Those are really a challenge (never done them before). Neil advised not to play the chords during the 2nd section but I could not resist. He also advised to play the lead riffs with a pick and I was having so much fun with out a pick I went with that.
I hope you guys like this, and as always, your comments and suggestions are welcome.
I hope everyones songs are going well! Keep on practicing everyone! That Clapton stuff will keep us bogged down for a while... (me at least!)... Beaker.

Yo Beaker I dig it the most! I'm with Bill, cool with a capital C. Love it. It will improve as well in terms of flow obviously the more you play it, but I was well impressed with it. Diggin' that Larrivee as well.
Good job mate. Thanks for the post.

Hi Beaker, you are doing great. Just a few days and you were able to post, I have been working on it since it came out and you are way ahead of me, great job. I also work only in finger picking. You seem to have a very good timing particularly on the picking part. You are a good motivation,
Marc

I never studied the song, so I don't know it technically, but I listened to it about a gazillion times in the past forty years, and that was awesome! I hope you're planning a follow-up extended version.
Great job, Beaker. I'll think about you over the next pizza.

You rock, Beaker!
I like that your posts don't seem like you're reading music or tab. Seems to come from within.
One small thing I noticed was that you seem to anchor with your pinky occasionally.
Bad pinky!!
