I'm learning this too, you've gotten farther than me so far, but I can tell you you're doing a kickass job, only problem is that it's pretty sloppy, but eh, that's the way Alvin plays it. if that's your thing, go nuts.
oh man it's great, don't you have the tablature to post,? please man if you can do this, it would be a preaty good favor to brazilians fans ... thanks
I just saw Ten Years After tonight at a show in a small local place. GREAT show...but, you nailed that intro better than Gooch did tonight. ;) keep up the good work. You gotta band that does the whole song somewhere?
Just as a little motivational criticism, with complete respect towards you coming from a fair musician of piano, bass, and mainly guitar over the last few years, I just want to say the timing was a bit off, and there are slight breaks between licks that you didn't add, BUT because you learned this song simply by EAR which would take me a shitload of time to do, disregard the motivational criticism, because you ROCKED the SHIT out of that!! keep up the wicked good work my fellow man
I play blues guitar and Alvin Lee is one of my favs. That was some badass playing. In some spots it even sounded better than Alvin (the lick with all the hammers). Really cool!!!
nice job. considering that was late 60's, Alvin Lee was ripping when not many people were. hendrix and clap were all the rage with the blues fusion, but nothing like this stuff.
All of the following comments are given in the spirit of constructive criticism-
Your licks are accurate, but your timing needs some work. There are four or five times when your lick should be three counts, for instance, and they're only two counts.
Well done. I was thinking of influences and riffs and stuff, this song came to mind, and I figured it would be somewhere on youtube and here it is. Very cool.
Playing by ear...? I wish I had your ears and your skill...

close - but no cigar, how bout some FEEL - like the Alvin mobile? You got the position playing down, but work on feel and phrasing, nice overall.

Oh Bullshit! He's playing the solo without a band behind him. What do you want him to do? Bang his head and shake his ass?
