Here is my version of Little Martha by the Allman Brothers



I've been working on this since Neil posted the lesson.
Comments welcome

Really nice, Mark! That's such a pretty instrumental and it looks like it must have been a challenge. But it sounded great. The bass notes sounded a little loud to me, but that could be an audio issue (with your microphone) and not how you're playing it.

Mark,
that was great! I definitely am envious of you getting down and learning this one. I have had a look at it and know it is tough! You did a great job though! Keep on playing it will only get easier! Beaker.

What is the next step for you? Embryonic Journey? Linus & Lucy?

Fabulous! You continue to blow my mind with your playing.

I could be wrong about this -- and I'd love to hear from Neil to be sure -- but it seemed that your bass notes got out of tempo a couple of times, as if they weren't quite synced up with the treble notes. All in all, it's a trivial thing considering the mastery you have over this song.

I'd love to be in a position to give you useful feedback, but all I can say is I admire your playing so much. Thanks for the look.

Mark,
I agree with everyone that did sound great. It did sound like the bass note was a little off tempo a couple of times but was fleeting and I almost kind of liked the variety of sound it gave since it did sound a little loud throughout the song. I think these are minor points as the melody notes sounded good on the timing and in general. I have had my eye on this one for a while but just don't think I am quite there yet. Thanks again for that take on a great song.

Thanks,
Mike
