Exceptionally good!! I dont now if we can say that in English. Anyway if I was playing at this level I would be plenty satisfied
Inspired by Samba Over Tamalpais created by Zahir
I have worked on Zahir's samba. This is a first try I need to work it more in order to be fully satisfied. I was struggling with the two first chords that I find too close. So instead of Ab7M to F-7 I am doing a Ebsus4 to F-9. In intro I play a E7M(#11) and kind of Bb-11 (can be (B b - semi dim). I hope you will be okay Zahir https://youtu.be/KwiYZmSUAYM
Jam rehearsal
Hello. So I went to the jam. It was a rehearsal. We book with the meetup application, paid 10 GPB, got a list of pieces of music to prepare. There is a room with piano, drum, mic, amplifiers for bass and guitar. It was a bit cold. We had 2 hours. It went not too bad. This is an opportunity to play with others and to see how they are prepared. The difficulty was the balance and the quality of the sound. How to find my sound with an amplifier that is not mine and without my set of effect. Other than this, there was energy and having fun. There is no recording, no pic, no video. The pianist and bass man were not prepared enough for Snakes, a complicated piece of music. I say complicated as the tempo is fast and the rhythm is tricky. I didn't know really how to behave, should I lead and ask people to listen or let it goes? I will redo this but I have to understand how to book quick enough as the the two next weeks are already fully book in this location.

@Marc-André Labelle I think there is a big turn over so it is more likely that is will be other people. This is why we stayed a little bit longer to exchange whatsapp phone numbers
