solo
(with slide)
*this is an improv solo with a slide, have fun and experiment with it.
another note: the left and right channels on the cd have two different
solo parts, you might want to listen to each channel seperatly to get
a different feel for the picking and positioning of the slide*

second solo
(with wah)
*adlib slightly with the wah, there's some holds and flutters in there. The
written rythmn is not exact. This another one of Adam's 'feel' solos.*
