A nice exercise that Roy. I was trying to picture the moves as it was playing but failed miserably. Had to look at the tab. Nice one.

That's soulful and from the heart Roy.
I always look forward to your posts. They are very classy posts with beautiful chord bends and smooth touch and lovely vibrato.
