Chicken Shack performed by fellow BluesHamonica.com & School of the Blues Student Ed Gootman

This is the song he's planning to play at the upcomming student concert. I showed him the basics of Audacity today & uploaded it here. Hopefully we'll hear more uploads from Ed's account in the future

This is what he laid down on 1-30-15.

Finally I filled in the quieted/muted guitar phrases with me trying to learn the chicken scratch lick on harp.

First try with the software, but I'm happy it for creating personalized jam tracks. :-)

Hey blues harmonica buddies! Sorry if it feels like Rob Fraser overload but I'm on a creative roll and wanted to share the latest tune from my trio! Paying homage to the Wolf and playing 3rd pos improv over a one chord groove. Messed around with it for a bit and went for a harp/ bass call and response feel with the solo. My 3rd position is a bit limited so good to work on that and it's one of those that will probably sound different every time. Comments appreciated!

Kansas City in 3rd Position - Version 2

Here's my 2nd version of "Kansas City" in preparation for the SOB Student Concert. 

I'll pick my favorite things from each version I do & mesh them together by student concert time. 

BYW

These postings are simple my way of getting reps in. It's also revealing hearing how actually sound on tape, rather than how I think sound from behind the harp. That's the reason I'm not using any effects. The hope is to fine tune the song & my harp tone & textures. continue reading...

Late I know but after playing around with creating backing tracks in Band in a Box and recording in the new version of GarageBand, I let this one go for a while but thought I'd share it here. Not blues but applied improvisation as per our lessons.

Inspired by Madcat's version on Youtube, this is 3 of us doing what he does on his own! I tried to emulate a muted trumpet sound on the harp by doing a rolling 'R' effect on  some of the draw notes. It's an effect I'm still working on but I'd like to hear your thoughts on this early recording of my efforts. It's also in 12th position which is a new one for me!
