Variations on a Gershwin theme

[Blindboy]

Just noodlin' around with tune Becca and I do together... Playin' with the Line6 widget for tones. This probably isn't the correct way to play this progression, but it is the way I learned it from a folk/blues player. (my dad)

Thats a super noodle Bb

Love it !

[VikingBlues]

Oh - now that's beautiful. Great variations on the tune and very jazzy sound. But played wit real soul.

BTW - if this is the wrong way to play it, I'd far rather hear it like this than in some sterile technically correct version.

Sounds coooooool, for being "Summertime"!

[HalfBlindLefty]

Way cool BB. Love the noodles.
The sound of the recording was a little deep voiced.. mhh bassy for me, but the picture was all to clear.
I like your rendition a lot !

[2WheelsOfBlues]

Like it

Really a summer night playing on the porch

[Blindboy]

Thanks, guys...
HBL, you are right, I do tend to like a fat, bassy tone. It sometimes slips into muddy... Sometimes it is easier to set up a tone I like on an amp, rather than on the line6, through headphones (which don't sound the same as speakers).

Makes me wish some summer weather over here... nice playing!

[12bar]

Looking through the window and wishing some sun instead of rain all days, I did a short record of a different variation. Timing and volume issues are obvious (damn toneport), but I thought I'll upload it despite of all errors. Sheraton through damn Toneport.

SWEET!
I always wanted to do a slide bit to this, but I never could put anything together that I liked. This one is great, I like the interplay between the slide and standard guitars a lot.

[DeaconBlues]

Oh yeah, 12bar! That is really nice. You did both guitar parts?

How you feeling, Bb?

[12bar]

Thanks!

Yes, in fact all three, the bass is also my Sheraton. Without any backing track or metronome it's really hard for us bedroom players to keep the rhythm.
Xmas I'll get a replacement for my toneport.

What's up with BB? Hope he's doing well!

That's a nicely done piece of music - particularly given your struggles with stubborn technology.

Hope you get a good replacement - I'd like to hear your playing much more often.

My thoughts too.
