The Friendly 12bar Blues Guitar Forum

Both lyrics AND vocals are great (needless to say, guitar too) - Muddy would be proud of you!
You don't need another singer. I wish I could sing that way...

That's like Peter Green discovered the strat and plays with Pink Floyd...

It's the C# (or Db) Blues scale (minor pentatonic + 5b)

PS: As long as no original lyrics are included and the BT is free there should be no copyright problem, it's a standard Blues.

Don't care - as long as your playing is OK. Sitting is allowed!

Agree with strummer - a nice piece!

Maybe another (clean) setting for the background guitar would be a good idea...

That's smooth - sometimes it even sounds like a nylon string!

That's a challenge - very fast BT for switching! You did it really well - like the others said if that were cold fingers, I'd like to hear them warmed up!. :thumbsup: My thinking is too slow for it, and I'm so much into minor that I can't "naturally" switch. But it's a great thing to pract...

I wish you were able to get to play more 12bar Me, too - right now I'm switching between preparing lunch, playing with my kids (wife is at work), playing some notes and looking here :snacks: I'm still trying to record something useful for the last collab - then I hear something new here (the minor/...

I'd never dare to do this with my axes... but reads like a cool thing on stage...

Yes , You can also be "pupils" and Judge/teachers in my guitar course. Thanks! :dance: How good or bad is my "copy" ? Technically there are some bends that need to be fixed, but I prefer your version over the other one, simple because it has more soul. The "original" m...

Your progress is frightening... building a guitar, learning how to play to this NOT EASY BT and outperforming it - that's fantastic.
Your strat truly sings. It has a soul.

That really looks like a true relic...

My red strat also has this undestroyable paint, but it's still the original one. No scratches so far, although my kids don't take any care of it...

As for Rawhide - you surely know the BB movie?

Currently No. 1 in Germany - Over the Rainbow! Not bad for a songs recorded 1993.
EC's version did make it that far...

No Blues, but beautiful... makes you
He died 1997. Much too young.

Can we participate and get the BT?

Thanks - we'll meet somewhere in Europe...

Did I mention my very first EC concert was in the Netherlands? I'll never forget the village named Hellevoetsluis.
Greetings to Tim if he ever comes here!

back Kalle! Nice homework - tell us more! Did you get any information how to do it? Or is it just to find out your current state?

Some nice ideas in your playing! And the tone - well, it's an Epi! :high5: Regarding the timing - I found the BT has a strange timing, a bit too slow, behind the beat. Maybe that's the cause. :icon_whoknows: Good luck to your hands - and welcome back in the busy busy club. My guitars collect lot's o...

That's YOUR axe!

What did he say about it? I'll quit my job?
You've got fantastic skills!
