Can't really hear anything - bad audio. Tried my headphones but it didn't help. I used to do video production, and the hardest part is getting good audio. But try again cause I want to hear it! By the way, what's the name of the venue and what city?

Never been there but would love to visit. Wish I had a solution for you. I used to have a clip for my iPhone that clipped on to a mic stand - might try that and get the mic stand positioned better. I also used a Flip video camera in a blues club and that had surprising good sound. Might be able to get one of those cheap.

Are you after some feedback on your playing? I thought you did fine - especially as you didn't overplay, and picked your moment.

A few work ons I'd suggest
- I hear the blow 5 being used a lot, which is ok, but reduces the bluesiness of your riffs. Perhaps dissect some of your stock phrases and see what's it's like if you choose other notes

- Learn a few standard changes e.g. the bridge of Everybody is vi / IV / vi / V so try octaves 2b/5b 1b/4b 2b/5b 1d/4d
I don't think you were on Lovelight but that song is a two chord I and IV with a bass line arpeggiating the chords. Try a punchy 2d - 3d - 4d 4b - 5b - 6b

- the occasional double-stops sometimes sounded a little off. Perhaps try to relax your embouchure a little more.

- work on the 3 draw bends, particularly the blue note, minor third, and major second. In my opinion nailing these is the acid test in becoming an advanced intermediate blues player.

Thanks, I'll work on that.
I feel like I need to get more riffs down.
I have picked up alot more playing with people vs. Playing with YouTube, however.
gussows videos also help alot.
