Blues

Alfcarguy · #1 December 31st, 2005

I came up with this after learning Christina Aguilera's I'm Okay song. It came to me really quick. I am talking about the chordings and there like simple Bm, G , D something like that if I remember right. And they just follow 4 measures, 2 measures, maybe another 2 measures giving us a 8 bar blues, which I wasn't even aware of that I was doing such, I was pretty much went off of feeling like I do most of my songs I wright and didn't really look at the structure of the song. And the place I recorded it in was out in building I had the drums, I miked the drums with my 12 channel mixer board I believe thats what it is and ran that into my 4 track mixer and I recorded the rhythm than laid down the drums than recorded the lead and what you hear is what I came out with after the mix down. How you like the 70's model Ludwigs in the picture?

You would have never guessed where I done my recording at if I didn't have pictures. I really need to build me a studio, but again I probably would be living in it all the time and never leave.

Dang it the attachment didn't come with it. I will try to upload again sorry people.

Well thats odd. I could only play the first 36 seconds of it. What I heard sounded good. You might want to consider slowing down a bit,your rushing a little. Try leaving some room for for the bt to breath, it will highlight your playing more.JMHO

Allthumbs thats as long it is.

Over 6 mb for 36 sec. Try converting your recordings to mp3. 6mb should record around 5 or 6 min. of music.

Allthumbs I might try to convert next time I post something. But about my BT I really didn't think it was that great, but this was just a beginning of the song also, I wanted to have it like it is. Its a fight, like at the beginning of the solo you have this single note bend than you start getting into unstableness, than it settles down alittle bit than you have these massive runs at the end. With alittle breathing room with that unison bend which leads into another long run. But what you don't hear there is still more of the lead but I didn't really care for that part I didn't hit the unision notes to great and its sloppy. And than after that you get into the BT and drums with out the lead. Its quite a long drawn out 8 bar thing. Its like 4mins altogether. But its all just an ideal I got from that song I mention by Christina. Even though what I came up with don't even sound nothing what she was doing, but that just were my ideal came from. Just a work in progress sort of say, that's how alot of my stuff is. I got all these bits and piece's. Maybe a few altogether songs but thats about it.

. To me its out of the ordinary, cause you don't have those long of lead run's in the blues there short and sweet, unless there playing the solo which goes the whole length of the 8,10,12 bar order. And I am still trying to get the blues down right, in my opinion I don't believe I play the blues like they should be played. It sounds okay but I still looking for that delta quality if you know what I mean.
