Okay, here we are after a few days of real practice on this, warts and all. Still working on this to smooth it out a bit, and there are sections that I need to get more in my ear, but happy with the progress so far.
And for my own self critique, I need to work on not hitting the pick guard with the pick! And I need to spend some time with this lesson:

Thank you Matt for sharig this video. I love how you got that tone! So good! Great vibe! When you play that rhythm on the first round... don't mute too much by your right hand palm. Everything else is so good! Keep up with good work Matt!
Be kind to yourself! Be proud of yourself! More foundation you work, your playing will be smoother! That's why I practice chromatic scale & R 3 7 Swing Groove very slowly so that I can perform well.

Went too off track but here is hideaway practice mostly from first inversion on strings 4 3 and 2, Tomo suggested this I think before. I tried best to do. The ‘hideaway’ chord is so great. Need to slow down pick much softer and work w metronome.. lots of fun excited for more practice and listening hideaway. Freddy king! Blues breakers and SRV! Have a good one.
Happy new year!
Happy new year Jeff!
Sounds so good, inspiring me to play, thank yoi!
Love the sound of that guitar too, 335, right? I get the models numbers mixed.

Thank you Jeff for sharing your version! So good! Very smooth! Nice tone too! Before mixing a few different positions... you can learn more toward original Freddie King version. That E9 chord! Good job!

You too happy new year! Thanks a lot and for watching Sunil! Yes that’s a reissue of a 335. Same here there’s a lot. Freddie king I think used a 345. or 355?
Nice!
I just know one is smaller, one is larger, without the internet search. Sounds like there are many. Very cool!

Great performance Jeff, and played with such confidence. I love your version, and your tone is great too - just so inspiring! This thread just keeps getting better, I haven't tried Hideaway yet but I'm going to have to eventually. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you guys for watching.
Look at how Freddie king picks.

Yes, Freddie King used a thumb pick and his fingers, banjo style.

Happy new year Johno. Thanks for watching. I’m posting here more on this one as I’m trying to learn the original version Freddie king. It’s fun to play and am trying to learn as much as I can as I go along.
Wow - great work Jeff! You even changed the tone to match!

Hey Jeff, you should be really proud of yourself. I really enjoyed both versions.
I have to say, what a joy it's been to see you develop as a player and musician. You know how Tomo says, "Eventually, everything gets smoother." I think you're well into that stage. Keep having fun!
Thank you Sammy for encouragement! I totally agree with you! What a pleasure to see someone's guitar journey! Jeff should be proud of himself!
Tomo
Thank you so much Sammi!! This means a lot that you think this and watched. It makes a difference sometimes you don’t notice much progress yourself when you’re focused looking and hearing for the areas to get better. Good to appreciate too. Thanks!
