Very Slow Blues. Lead Improv on a Backing Track in Am from the Jamplay teaching site by David Wallimann - "Super Slow Blues". Hagstrom Viking Deluxe with SH55 pickups through Palmer overdrive and clean voicing VibroChamp XD.
Difficult to do a strong enough melodic lead to compete with David Wallimanns rhythm guitar though! It's sort of more like two lead parts twining together (hopefully).
I hadn't really thought about this ones jazz leanings - sounds silly that I didn't notice! I guess it's not a surprise as jazz was where David Wallimann started his guitar career.
I seem to be in a mood just now for minimal playing and quiet guitar.

I feel drawn to this sort of slow (and mournful) blues at this time of year. Not keen on the autumn into winter time - grey skies, damp, getting cold etc. - seems to encourage this sort of moody playing.
I like playing what I think of as "Jazz-lite" and my blues tends to be "Blues-lite" so this recording sort of combines the two. Though maybe it can lead to a case of the worst of both get combined.
BTW - Don't worry about your spelling. I have enough difficulties and it's my native language.
Never replied on this....went to sound click to listen then never came back here. As usual, a very nice melodic sense, and really nice tone. This one seems to have a bit of pent up emotion to it!! Nice and soothing, and you always keep if laid back.........

I felt it needed kept laid back to avoid treading all over David Wallimanns fine rhythm guitar work. But for all it's laid back i felt an emotive aspect came from the BT and I'm glad you felt I got some pent up emotion from it - certainly what i was trying for.
