Re: Slow C blues Collaboration anyone?

It is! The difference in both tone and playing is quite interesting - and again it's a collab from all over the world! :clap:

Re: Relaxing Weekend?

Did you read about the flood? It happened long time ago, in a little country town, way back in North Berwick It gushed out of the shower, it gushed both night and day The people got worried, they began to cry, 'Lord have mercy, where can we go now?' There were women and there was children, screamin...

From Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verse-chorus_form: Songs that use the same music for the verse and chorus, such as the twelve bar blues, though the lyrics feature different verses and a repeated chorus, are in simple verse-chorus form. But I'll vote for BB's "another twelve" :t...

Re: Notes on Major/Minor chord progressions

The intro sequence sounds right to my ears. :thumbsup:
Maybe the opening chords are played a bit lower:
FMaj7: 132211
Eaug: 0x2110 (not Em, it has G# and C)

Search youtube for "a minor affair" and you'll find some nice stuff :D

Mannish Boy Blues collab anyone?

OK, after phrygian, mixolydian, major and minor :nuts: here's a no-brainer: Manish Boy Blues. There's a BT from L. Fritts, I've attached it. It stays in the I all over the song in the key of E, so even I should be able to add a few notes somewhere from the pentatonic that fit... :dance: Anyone? :ban...
