I´m glad to be able to follow a female guitarist. In the late 60es, when I started playing guitar, the first motivation was that the boys were playing on stage, and the girls were screaming and crying in admiration. Okay, I never experienced that, but the Beatles did. Anyway: I´m 68 now, and the music itself has been the motivation for a long time. I love to see female guitarists concurring the stage that has been reserved men for so many years. Another thing that brings joy to me is, that I had to skip my music as a professional career and spend most of my working life as a tour bus driver and later truck driver, with very little time to rehearse. Being retired I have taken up my guitar playing again, including theory, and it gives me such a great otium. And there are so many learning platforms open today, that I didn't have as a young kid. Keep up the good work, Amy. 😊

Thanks! I'm glad you have the time to play now. And there are a lot of women playing guitar these days which also makes me happy.

Thanks for sharing this, Amy. I've always loved the song "Badge" by Cream. You presented a really nice workup of the intro and verse!

Thanks! It's a longtime favorite. I approached it from what the most important parts were rather than just what Eric was up to.

My favourite Cream song! Great breakdown, Amy! It’s George Harrison playing all the way to the bridge, then Eric comes in 👍
