Love the sound from the guitar, and, as always, your wonderful touch. Great playing, and great fun. This is music to make a body smile! The sky is blue and it's a sunny day. Nicely done. Peace.
Ibstrat
Nothing like blues to make a person happy.I lived in a house with a bunch of musicians in college.The guy in the room next to mine was a keyboard player who was constantly playing blues piano.I guess it kind of seeped into my brain.My song isn't 1/10 as good as what he was doing!
composerclark
I LOVE THIS! You make it sound so easy, but, as a guitarist, I know it ain't. I love the way you build this... A very composed improv! You are a fantastic musician.
Ibstrat
I did have some worked out riffs in the improv section, but I can never seem to play what i had worked out so I{accidently} go in a different direction.Some of the ideas for double stops i got from watching the phenomenal guitarist Scottie Anderson.Check out his version of "Pennies From Heaven" on youtube.He plays things that are not humanly possible.
Ed Hannifin
Stop making it look easy.

you can SEE me thru this screen? I knew I was being watched!I can tell what's going on now- those pickups on my guitar are actually monitoring my thoughts... "picking up" my brain waves..
Feter
Yeah this is the touch of a master ..the idea
is this should be ES 355 but now its Strat ..
and it feels good .Hats off my friend just
a classic !
Ibstrat
are nice guitars- but I'm stuck with the strat for now.Thanks for your comment Feter!

Ibstrat
Kenta- glad you liked it!
Just what I needed to hear! I dig that finger style you got going on. Impressive! "I'm not worthy!" is all that I'm thinking... That was a FUN listen, made me bust out my guitar and start soloin' over it. You ROCK!
Smokin' sir.

Ibstrat
if you want to overdub some riffs over it go ahead- I'd love to hear what that would sound like1
Vic Holman
a pretty big guitar 'ya got there fella.
very smoooooth moves on the fretboard. very nicely done!
Ibstrat
Vic- great to hear from you.
futzpucker
I continue to be dazzled by your technique, control, and execution. And I continue to love *what* you play as well. This swings nicely, and feels great. Spectacular playing, Mark.
Ibstrat
very much.I enjoy playing this kind of old time blues style- glad you liked it!
DWL
great stuff.
Cheers

Ibstrat
Dick.I'm glad you enjoyed it.
jiguma
One day, I'd like to be able to play half as good as this Mark. Fantastic playing and a much better recording than you've done previously, which is really good to hear.
Thanks, Neil
Ibstrat
I have kind of figured out how to make at least a decent recording with my limited equipment.You have been a big help in pointing out buzzing,etc. Thanks!
MarkHolbrook
Sweet sound, amazing guitar work. What else can be said!?
Ibstrat
encouragement.I really enjoy your music.
davisamerica
memphis cool ... amazing playing my friend ... downloaded and thanks!
Ibstrat
never been to Memphis but some pretty great music has been made there.Thanks for your comment!
Macaudion
Well that was a fun listen, Mark. Your music is always compete w/ what it needed. Anything more or less might seem to take away from the pureness of the spirit from that which you've shared. Maybe this speaks of my lack of musical knowhow or perhaps, maybe it's just my state of being for this particular moment and song.
In any event, I really enjoyed listening to this. Thanks again, for sharing your art.
Dion
Ibstrat
for checking it out Dion.I hope we can work together soon-I need to get some better equipment...
Pete_NB
Love the double stop runs. At least that's what I think they were, this is advanced stuff!
Great tone and touch.
Ibstrat
Yea I've been messing around with a double stop technique that I got from watching Scottie Anderson(Check him out on youtube-he's unbelievable)I can't come close to what he's doing!
oldlibmike
This is great - Jorma-ish? Love he bluesy feel and how easily it seem to flow - wish I had the live instrument skills to pull something like this off. Look forward to more.
Ibstrat
a big Jorma fan-thanks for the comment!

Ibstrat
I like your stuff a lot- right up my alley.
You Rock !!!! I love this and I am going to download this onto my ipod
I love your pic as well with the cute dog.
Right then lets boogie on down. lol
Cheers Peace Dee.
Ibstrat
great dog.You can leave a plate of food on the floor, leave for an hour, come back and he won't have touched it!
Just listened to Sunbeem1-very enjoyable!Thanks for the comment.
Doadars Uncle
Great little ditty for a spring day!
Sweet and clean.
Musta been fun!
Ibstrat
very much.I love playing Stuff like this- I'm glad that some people like it.
kristyjo
Boogie along in my chair. You did this in one take I'll bet. I'm jealous. You make the blues sound so happy!
Ibstrat
I still haven't figured out how to punch out mistakes.It's probably better that way-I have to practice more!
Scorpjammer
... sound so easy and deceptively simple. CURSE YOU! lol!
I love the triple stops... You been hangin' around Scotty Anderson?
E:)
Ibstrat
Well I'll never come close to Scottie, but I did steal a couple of his riffs! Thanks for the comment!
bud
the way you move is so smooth.
Ibstrat
I'm a horrible dancer.I dance just about as well as I play bluegrass music.
chipan
I really enjoy this kind of honest music. Playing solo guitar is so dangerous. The texture is so transparent you can hear every detail. But as others here have commented you make it sound so easy! Much respect and admiration!

Ibstrat
comment.One of my inspirations for this kind of stuff is a great musician named Paul Rishell.Check out his website paulandannie.com-his early solo albums are incredible.
Moviz
you've managed to give us that wonderful tone that reminds me of someone and I can't quite grasp who it is.. Les Paul maybe? It's a very 'warm' sound. Excellent boogie playing too, love it
Ibstrat
Moviz.Les Paul probably would object to me playing a Strat instead of a Les Paul.Thanks for the comment!
egobandit
reminds me of some hot tuna live that is I just love this!
Ibstrat
learn a bunch of Hot Tuna songs at one point like"Death Don't Have no Mercy" (Actually by Rev. Gary Davis)I have a huge amount of respect for the old acoustic blues players like Blind Blake,Tommy johnson,Skip James,etc. Amazing stuff! Hot Tuna is a great band.
Tadashi Togawa
Aesthetic extremely accurate impression.
Super.
Ibstrat
you very much!
Jarvoid
with this one ..it's a ripper, down it goes into the trophy cabinet..and I will attempt to jam over this ...it is a cooooll little number....cheers Jarvo
Great piece Mr. Mark, your playing is amazing as always!
Very nice work and composition... Simply magnificent!
Take Care

Very nice tone and performance.

I'm going to just pretend you played that bass line separately and then recorded the melody, otherwise I would just feel bad.
Anyways, I don't know where you live, but I would definitely take lessons from you. Plus, I already know Sweet Child O' Mine. :P
Ibstrat
Very much!
Bob Rodgers
guitar playing! I could listen to this all day, I would like to play as well as you do!
Superb tone and very much enjoyed!
Thanks!
