G Blues in 6/8

Burps · #1 March 29th, 2006

...............don't mean to drown you folks in sentimental blues. - However, this one builds very nicely...and very cool players on side. - I think there's eight choruses. - What do you say each person takes a chorus ? - I might add it's very friendly for guitarists just starting out.

This will be my final mp3 post re the ' Blues ' ......hope to hear a few takes !

Best wishes !

Wooaaahhh! That was soooo good RB. Who was playing that mississippi saxophone? Is that you too? Thx. for posting it, really enjoyed listening.

Rockerbob · #5 March 30th, 2006

Thanks! Yeah, harp is me as well. It's a little off time because I had the mix to low in my phones, but what the heck. It's the blues!

Rockerbob · #6 March 30th, 2006

I think I improved the harp timing a little.

Great playing RB ... absolutely nailed it!

Here's my slide version of this ... I went through my DigiTech, not the new amp, so it sounds a little nasal for my liking, but it wasn't a bad take so what the heck ...

Smokin' slide Kirk!

.............absolutely brilliant Kirk ! - I sincerely believe your solo should be used as a model for - " How to build an exceptional/extended solo over a ' Blues in 6/8 ' - It reminded me of S.R.Vaughn's approach........???? - He never had a doubt where he was going with it...all ears...that beautiful zone.

I hope you take my suggestion seriously Kirk...that was a bitch of a take...hit the spot big time...up there with the very best of them in my view...for what it's worth.

R.B.'s was a gem also !!!

Best wishes

There is just no end to the talent in here .... Great takes both.

Wouldn't it be fun if we could have a 'virtual concert' featuring the players in this forum ... ? Don't really have much idea how it would work in practice, unfortunately. Be a lot of work organising it methinks.

Here's my attempt. I'm no Kirk or RockerBob - but I'm trying to learn to play decent blues leads!

I tried to get the balance better between the guitar and the BT than my take on the C blues yesterday. Please let me know if the balance is better or OK - or if one or the other still needs to come up or go down.

Thanks!
Jim

Now your cooking Jim. The balance is much better. Some nice blues there. Nice.

Jim · #14 April 2nd, 2006

Thank you SO much allthumbs (which I'm sure you're not!)

That made my weekend!

Great playing Jim ... very melodic, very soulful. I love it when I hear the player's personality coming through and I sure hear that with you. My guess is that you've played the blues before!
