I'll try to get to play mine on Tue evening. My guitars are a hunderd miles away, so all I can do is dream about solos right now...

Posted: **Sun Apr 18, 2010 4:50 pm**

It's a pretty tough song realy, but I will take a spot if there is an empty one - please just let me know officially.

Re: Slow C blues Collaboration anyone?

I may have to back out. I have gigs (I call them gigs) sunday and monday nights, and lots of stuff to do during the day (plus change strings on my Casino), and I still haven't gotten my GuitarPort to be able to talk to my Audacity. This happened after a power outage (frequent here). Sunday and Monday are my weekend, after that I go back to work, which is eleven and a half hours a day counting my commute. It would be at least next Sunday before I could post anything, most likely. I won't get my feelings hurt if you give my slot to someone else.

Here's your spot Cruisemates, sorry Blindboy

Sent now.

It's my first, but not one of my best.

First take, didn't even listen to the backing track or adjust the amp before I made it. Just don't have the time with the baby in the house.

How's your solo going leftyslim?

Posted: **Thu Apr 22, 2010 2:24 am**

Ah- sorry!

I've been meaning to check whether procrastination runs in my family, but I've never gotten around to it...

Bad jokes aside, I'll try and get to it tomorrow afternoon. The sound won't be great, probably, but nobody's ears should bleed too badly.

Sorry to make everyone wait...

Tomorrow!!

Is it possible we can here the results while we wait for the last entry?

Posted: **Sat Apr 24, 2010 2:11 pm**

I sent in my solo to nxsneil yesterday (did it get through? I've never had good luck sending files) so I think we should be hearing the final mix pretty soon.

Posted: **Sat Apr 24, 2010 8:58 pm**

Good for you Lefty - thanks! I wasn't too sure about sending it to hi either, thats why I jst uploaded mine to the site here.

But I noticed last week I couldn't upload any more files - it said the limit was reached.

Posted: **Mon Apr 26, 2010 6:46 am**

Here's the final version thanks to all contributors, well done everyone....

Thanks for putting it together!

Surprise to hear a harp solo so acoustic, not overdrive/compressed like usually in blues. Nice. Also very much enjoyed how Slim wrapped it up in the end.

My solo is quite different from the rest, don't really know if it's good or not...

Posted: **Mon Apr 26, 2010 9:53 am**

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

(PS: I've placed the file inline, so the build-in mp3-player is shown, if you don't mind)

Posted: **Mon Apr 26, 2010 3:54 pm**

Thanks Neil - good playing, everybody!

Posted: **Mon Apr 26, 2010 3:55 pm**

Sounds good, guys!

Posted: **Mon Apr 26, 2010 4:06 pm**

Yes, job well done! The different approaches were exciting to listen to.

Cruisemates & Leftyslim, you two have some colorful phrasings, good stuff!

Thanks again Neil for the fine production.

Posted: **Mon Apr 26, 2010 5:20 pm**

Good, good music! Very much a complex amalgam with the different approaches, textures, etc. This is going to be great to listen to many, many times.

As somebody who is just learning my listening sessions are like:

Note to self: Learn that riff
Note to self: Also learn that riff
Note to self: Also learn that other riff
Note to self: Figure out if that speedy little run was done with fast fretting fingers or with some quick picking
Note to self: Study that phrasing. Why does it sound so good right there?
Note to self: Can I figure out how he got that tone?
Note to self: What the heck were those notes? I don't think I have them on my fretboard.
Note to self: ......

It keeps me busy - in a very good way.

Nice Collab guys ... well done

Definately some nice little runs/licks and noodles ......and some seriously nice ( and different) tones

Good Work all

Just need a tab for the whole thing now Please .............. .Thanks !!

Nice collab guys!

Always fascinating to see with blues collabs just how many different interpretations and tones can be heard for what some people criticise as being simple music.
