This is today's consolation prize (for me). I made several attempts to get BYCU Study 2 (Blues Rock Tune) captured and it just became apparent I just can't play the thing well enough yet at full tempo, so I'll keep working on it I suppose, and maybe get it recorded some other day. I still have a few days until the end of the month, but in March I'll be moving on to the 3rd lesson/study.
Phil, to answer your question from the other thread...
It's funny but I was going to mention this anyway. I can't count through the quarter note triplets. As a matter of fact, I even have to stop my foot tapping for bar 4 or I get it all screwed up. But the spacing of the triplets is just the space between the beat and the "a" of a shuffle so I just stop my foot and my count and launch off the "1-a" and listen to the base and try to keep that spacing. I didn't know how to feel about having to resort to that in a rhythm guitar study, but it's all I could do at this point.
So below is the audio. I don't really stand out on the recording, which I guess is good n a sense. As always the performance wasn't as good as I thought when I captured it, so I have a few things to work on cleaning up before next month and moving on to lesson 3 in that one too.

I'd always heard Love me Two Times by the Doors given as the archetypical example of quarter note triplets. I never noticed it with the Beatles, now I'll have to check that one out.
