If you want to learn to rock harder, look for opportunities to sit in with bands that have a drummer and an electric bass player who know keep a tight groove. It's hard to really rock out if you are just accompanying an acoustic guitar. But you sound good and have nice tone.

I agree with hvyj. You sound good and have nice tone.

Here is my feedback on the first tune. Personally, I wasn't super wild about the guitar player's work. When John Brim originally recorded that tune, it was a mid-tempo shuffle and it really worked well. It really didn't seem like the two of you were playing together.

In the context of an acoustic duo, I think the song would have been better had he slowed the tempo a bit. It would have gave each of you more of an opportunity to carry some of the rhythm. It would have also left some open space for either of you to fill it with something interesting.

I started to listen to the second tune, but didn't finish. The overblows were nice.

I was going to post yesterday, but didn't.

For the first song, I would use/learn the basic shuffle lick that the guitar is playing.

-2 -2 -3 -3 -4 -4 +5 +5 +6 +6 +5 +5 -4 -4 +5 +5 x 2

Can't remember what the rest is in tab, I just kind of play it...

I agree a slightly slower tempo would be nice too.
