    Sounds good for blues, but I agree that I usually wouldn't listen much to this sort of thing. Some of the vibratos really added a lot of character to it. I also like the sparse beginning, because you seemed to wring a lot of meaning from the notes and make them pop out more, due to the lack of a continual line.

    I'm always amazed by that: just how much of a difference space makes in music. In large part, that's what makes riffs stand out, and your boys in AC/DC are a perfect example: basic chords, but played with interesting gaps in between that make it memorable.

    Considering that was an EMG 81, that was a pretty full sound!

    Nice playing. May not be your first choice of music, but you did a nice job nonetheless. There is lots of room for nice melodic construction within the blues envelope, even if it seems a bit restrictive. It's all in the execution. Enjoyed that.
