Indian Blues

Post by weelie »

I think this old Hank&Bruce song would be a nice vehicle for blues soloing, but haven't heard anybody improvise on it. Never learned it 100%, and don't really want to either. Wish I was a better player to pull off my vision about it.

We didn't really have time to make this proper, so there are timing issues and such things, and some of the quickly made "guide lead guitar" that tries to follow the original, is still there. Me on guitar, a friend on bass, and software drums. All played direct to PC, to keep the neighbors happy. Guitars used some "Malcolm Young rhythm tone" we picked from the software (called "Guitar rig" or something).

Sort of a Spaghetti Western, Surf, Psychedelic vibe. :music2: :music1: :lefty:

Interesting mix and quite "spaghetti" as Deacon mentions. Works well. I wouldn't have thought of using a tone called "Malcolm Young" with this piece. Nice one. :thumbsup:

Thanks!

The idea was to play it a bit differently, unorthodox, if you will. Seems like every body plays it down the line, so we went for the cross roads instead.

Actually, the plan is to play this song with ukulele + melodica at some jam gig somewhere one of these days... so this was practice for that... sort of. :D

The tone is fitting well! Playing, too, some bends may need practice (who am I to say this :lol: ), but I think you matched the theme very well. :dance:
