Re: Too Blue
Nice track VB ....you have a pretty impressive output going on at the mo!! .where are you finding time to sand and construct and hone ??? Difficult BT as the piano is quite prominent, so you don't need to be playing over that too much .........which you don't and your licks seem to fit the pretty l...

Too Blue
Trying for Less - revisited. One of ElMano's backing tracks produced this. I have a feeling I could do it more justice but I enjoyed getting back to trying this concept so much I thought I'd post the result. :banana: I'll probably have another go at this one. I'm flirting with the danger of getting ...

Re: Mind Blowing RJ Info
Well, I've listened to the whole album of the slowed down pieces. It does sound very convincing to my ears, but I'm no expert. I'll just say I'm likely to listen to this version of the songs for pleasure. My commercial standard CD I have as a historic document, but I don't greatly enjoy listening to...

Re: Hi
:welcome: to 12-bar Shaun. I'll need to have a look at your re-build page. I thought I'd got building out of my system but I'm having yet another go just now. Look forward to hearing some of your work if you can get the recording process to recreate your sound in the way you want (not always easy!)....

Re: Trying For Less
I like the less is more approach. A suggestion maybe is to hunt down some 16 or 24 bar jamtracks for changes that come on later ...Take a look on bluesblast.com and see what he has. Oops!

Re: Jazzy Bossa Nova Blues Thing Collab...
Thought I would make a seperate thread for this... Viking Blues allowed as to how he might be up for a collab on this BT. It is kind of jazzy but Dm blues scales work. Probably a nice venue for some minor modal stuff too (for those of you who get modes :whistle: ) Anyone else interested? http://12b...

Re: Waltzin' Viking
Fantastic job, VB! :dance: I remembered an old Django recording -bingo -, did some research and played a bit to find the scale. The song is from Django Reinhardt (Montagne Sainte-Genviève), chords are for example at http://www.grilles-manouches.net/Html/montagne_ste_genevieve.html or http://www.hot...

Re: Waltzin' Viking
Blindboy, weelie, Pena - thank you. :D I should maybe point out I downloaded six Jazz Gypsy Waltz BTs from the Jamtracks ru site - BUT - I could only make any sort of sense of two of them and only this particular one gelled enough to have a proper go at it. So I'm definitely lacking some inside know...

Re: Outside the comfort zone
I like how you came in with the Wes Montgomery octave chording. I just dig how you're 'conversing' with the pianist; You have the jazz vibe Blindboy, keep at it. Thanks, bluesinbflat. I like the Wes octave thing too, I just need to get better at it and find more places it is appropriate. I'm glad y...

Re: El Mano On A Hot Friday Afternoon
Nice harp playing MidnightSpecial - it's turned into a really good joint effort and sounds very Hot Friday afternoon.
Well judged ElMano leaving the right sort of spaces for the harp.
