OK, I got as far as Jazz Blues Variation 2

My take on it. Still rough, but I know I got to practice more. I'm pushing myself to be more active and the only way is just to keep recording.

Can you tell what type of guitar I'm using on this?

I got ahead of myself here. I recorded the Variation2 first. Wasn't that good, but I didn't record Jazz Blues Comping Ex. 1

Here it is. I done at 100 beats per minute. My timing wasn't bad on this one. The rhythm swing I know I need to work on.

Thanks for sharing, Joe!

Please use a metronome when you do this. It's important to develop good timing.

The 2nd one sounds really quite good! Try to let the chord ring longer on the 1 and 3. 

Your guitar sounds great - have no idea what it is. Hope you tell us!

On the first recording I really wanted to motivate myself. Been really slacking off on all what you have to offer on your site, so I just recorded after practicing for about an hour.  The first recording  was done on Aria classical guitar with onboard pickup.

The second on comping was done with a Squire standard Stratocaster.  Made in Indonesia that I got at the pawnshop not too long ago. Nice one, but the jack is loose. I'll have to take it apart and maybe see if I can tighten it.

I went back to the strumming. I see the 1 and 3 should be played softer.  Practicing now on it. It does make a difference.

Did you view the lesson video, explaining how to play it? 

I know some people jump to Tab or performance directly, but I HIGHLY encourage everyone to view my explanations first - there's a reason for I make them detailed and full of useful "hints". 🙂

Sorry Clayton, you a bit late.

The bowl is empty.

 

For some reason I can't post the picture here on the attach files. That's strange.
