Can you pass the "All Stars "Test?

[The Reverend 48]

Following SteveG's post regarding the All Stars Blues "IMPROV" course...
I've been thinking if the course would benefit more advanced guitarists

Well see for yourself 
we are all doing this test/ execise (irrespective of which lesson we are on and including myself)..I have designed it to explore timing and phrasing using very few notes....see attached plan

Listen to some of the excellent examples here

Download the backer if you want and have a go (its not as easy as it sounds to keep to so few notes)
You can only use the notes on the chart
 if you want your take included in the file email me it to me at
mmacforte@googlemail.com
I am interested in your feedback
Also email me if you fancy joining the All Stars!
All our lessons are over backers so it is fun for anybody who likes the Blues......

Might have a go at this, even though time is very short. Interesting challenge. BTW, I hope you realised you cheated Mike - at one point you slide up the fretboard. That's definitely outside that box 

Cheers,

I class it as a slide to nowhere that's how it would be written in tab (a bit like a curl)
that's my excuse anyway 

[SteveG]

So slides, bends etc ok but on them notes?

[The Reverend 48]

most definitely.........

Ok, will get it done tonight. A hall and stairs to paint, then 3 kids coming for lessons, so no time 'till then. Cheers

I'm a late enrollee to 48's class, but having a great time catching up.  It's so cool to hear back to back all the different student's range in tone and style

This one was a challenge - I hope I passed
