Bottleneck Blues |
One guitar, one track, no effects. This started out like most of my instrumentals, an exercise for my right hand and some experimentation in double dropped D tuning. Pretty simple, but I like the way it came out. Please let me know what you think.
Great technique. Love to hear pickin guitar. Go ahead. Thumbs up
its a nice little ditty... got some good fingerwork in that guitar... i like the composition but to be a song needs more... i do the same tho... i stick stuff on here that i know isnt a song its just a neat little ditty and wanna see what ppl think... so im gonna give it 2 thumbs up on its...uh... ditty-ness keep it up... u should work n that seeing as u already got a decent starting point...
Thanks for the good words! Yes, that is a fragment, but this is a great way for me to see if it is worth expanding and doing more with.
Timing is always a problem with me, even working with a drum machine I do struggle a bit. Be patient, I am very slowly improving.

well, improve it seems you're well on your way with the playing and all.
very very nice ditty indeed. struggling is okay. try to find the balance in your concentration span.... to become more natural in the timing thing...
but hey this is a very nice tune, very enjoyable!
Thanks for all the input. I play with bare fingers/fingernails. It is one of the few tunes I have written in dropped d (DADGBD). I will be posting some more of these things, but for now I will skip the ones with my croaking/singing.
Thanks. A comparison to the great Page is a complement indeed.
My usual partner in crime is my best friend Dan, who plays a mean upright bass, so that is the only other instrument I have played. Lately he's been getting really good on the congas, and we are starting to work some of that in to our material.
I do a a friend who is an absolute wizard on fiddle, mandolin, and half a dozen other instruments; but he is a professional musician. I can't afford his playing at this time. I am fortunate enough to have had him play with me at some music circles and wow, what a difference!
For right now, while I am getting a better feel for BandAmp, I just plan to post a few of my instrumentals. This is a good venue for them, as people have given me lots of good ideas and feedback.

very, very nice. keep it up.
This is great, I keep getting positive feedback on my silly li'l tune.
LeVee Classical? That is interesting (I have a lot of classical background). It is certainly not pure blues, and was actually my attempt to play with a bottleneck feeling that I came across. I intended it to be something of a fingerpicking ode.
I've never even attempted to write lyrics for this, I can't keep from hearing it as pure instrumental. After I post a few of the instrumentals I may get brave and post one with lyrics.
