A bit of Blues & not of Blues
Posted: Wed Nov 07, 2018 11:54 pm
After a month or so of no musical output of any merit, things have improved a bit.
As this is a blues forum, I've tried to record something with some blues-iness to it.
Playing the Tanglewood TW133 all mahogany Parlour acoustic guitar, with Thomastik Infeld strings.
Just recorded on a Zoom H4n portable recorder using it's built in mics.
As you're allowed to break rules in blues, I've done this, so don't expect a properly structured and formed blues!
I'm too out of practice in the blues genre to manage to do things "right" anyway.
It's called "Will We Move Blues" because we're supposed to be moving house in just 9 days time, and the legal processes are still not complete for our sale or for our new purchase. It's been a long frustrating experience and I hope to hell it works out!
If I may, I'll take the opportunity of sneaking one of my "Celtic" type tunes into the Blues Room too.
A semi-improvised piece based loosely on the chords / structure of "Blind Mary", but pulled about a lot with changed and extra notes and longer phrases.
Trying for melodic and wistful. The Vintage Gordon Giltrap VE2000GG acoustic guitar. Also recorded onto the Zoom portable recorder.
