I just wanted to tell you and other members how great the song study is -> Feelin For The Blues.

It is great for many reasons.

1. I have Walk With Me in my repertoire already so I can concentrate on bending.
2. You have put the number 4 hole bend in there and it is not as daunting when you are playing in the song versus trying to just do it by itself.
3. It gives me a sense of confidence that I can play the song and bend these notes. That is just wonderful.
4. It shows that a old guy can do it and enjoy playing it acoustically or with my JT30 microphone.

I would suggest heavily that users use either Bendometer or a tuner to monitor the bends. I have it running when you play it especially at a slower tempo. It shows up better in the Bendometer.

You have challenged us but it is totally worth it.

Thank you so much, David.

Will
