Blackberry Blossom

This issue’s tune is the very standard Blackberry Blossom. The video shows me playing the tune at 60 beats per minute and then at 114 beats per minute. Practice slowly at first and then gradually increase the tempo until you can play it at jam session speed.

Hi Matt!
Great playing and very clearly presented. I’m learning the tune at the moment but you seem to play some different licks in the last part of the fast version than you do in either the slow version or in the tablature. Is there any chance you could post the tab for these licks as it’s really hard to see from your fast version.
Thanks a lot Matt
Best wishes
