The Friendly 12bar Blues Guitar Forum

Hey Guys As the title says recoded an original christmas song with a few freinds, My freind Mo and I wrote it , she wrote the words and did the vocals, I wrote the music and played the guitars and had a few others come in for the bass, drums and keyboards. Don't get to record as a whole band very of...

Good Job MR, I think that this is probably one of your better recordings, nice and smooth, good tone, your not over playing it and your phrasing and feel is really good. Like I said you haven't over played it, you left a lot of space between notes and phrase's, a lot of times these slower tunes are ...

Very Cool!! is that the nos version with the jenson speaker? I've got a blues jr 3, have had it for a quite while, great little amp, perfect for taking to blues jams, has plenty of volume and is nice and light , easy to move around and they sound good. I've taken mine out to quite a few blues jams a...

Man thats the real deal there TB excellent job, you definetly got that Freddie King vibe going on there!! Very cool! Dan

always loved that song, good job !! Dan

Sweet! Very nice, great tone and feel for the bt, I was watching the video, noticing how much your milking out of just a couple of standard blues boxs, I need to do more of that , I use the same boxes as everyone else guess I need to learn how to milk every note that I can out of there before moving...

Thanks guys, I have some cds with backing tracks that I practice with some but I really like to make my own to record with it just makes it more fun to me! A while back I picked up a fender mustang floor fx processor, they came down so much in price I couldn't pass it up. Thats what I used on this o...

Good job Jokron, I also have a gt100, have had it for almost a year now. I use mine all the time they work great as a standalone processor direct to a pa or recording setup or as a pedal board in front of your amp, so much stuff that you can do and program, lots of fun! You need to check out boss gt...

Hey Guys Day after a busy Thanksgiving, have the day off work, its been pouring rain all day and we stayed a way from the malls, a perfect day to play some blues! This is my take on the old Chicago Blues standard Key to the Hyway, there are a lot of versions of this classic tune out there the one i'...

hadn't noticed that this thread was coming back up, PMG48 yes we all go through those experiences its part of paying our dues so to speak. First blues jam I went to I was scared to death, I brought my guitar in with me so there was no backing out, I knew the host of the jam, so I get called up in th...

Thanks guys, TB your right that is what it about making music with other folks, it is so much more fun playing with others compared to playing by our self in our room although we have to do that also. MR hang in there its taken me a few years to do this and I have gotten discouraged many times, but ...

Hey guys I think I have a band, I have been trying to find some guys to play with for a couple of years now, its easy to find people who want to do something but its hard to find guys that are willing to commit to really getting togeather and doing it. I play in the band at church and have played in...

TB

good job on the video, sounds really good, didn't listen to the first one but this one sounded really good. Nice tone, nice playing, cool guitar, nice blue shirt, just kidding ! That has to be a big step out of the comfort zone to do a video and put it on youtube, very cool! Dan

VB, I lke it a lot, really good job! Yep you got the blues! Dan

Hbl super champ is looking good, your starting to give me the bug to turn mine into a head and cabinet also, looks like a fun little project plus the benifits in tone and headroom and probably a little bit more volume with a 12 inch speaker! I've seen a few where they have taken the combo cabinet an...

Thats the real deal there!! Excellent playing and tone and emotion, sweet!! Dan

Good one VB, yep getting more of that chacigo blues feel and tone in there, some nice turn arounds and loved the ending, Good job! Yeah I took note of Blindboys suggestions on targeting the tonic note to help outline the changes and playing out of the chord shapes also, some good advice there, I rea...

That souned good took me a moment to catch the tune but it was cool that you did your own solo over the top! Was it a backing track or did you put togeather your own backing, The lead tone was just a little brite but not bad, it still worked well with the tune. Good job, I had a tele a long time bac...

VB, i'm far from a tube guru but have changed tubes in a few of my amps, changing preamp tubes dosen't require any adjustments or re biasing and they are easy to change and rechange if you don't like the results. You just need to be carefull to pull the tube straight out, might take a little gentle ...

Great job Blindboy! Sweet strat tone, very nice playing , the whole tune sounded very nice, especially for a live recording in a bar, very clean and clear and everything sounded really well balanced, really nice! Dan
