Last one from the inaugral bass session! This is a cover of a Paul Oscher track which I assume is based on a traditional arrangement in itself. It has a very cajun feel to me with the harp sounding very accordian like, using octaves and chords,  so love it or leave it at bluesharmonica.com! The funny thing is that my singer, Ian, did not know the lyrics so there's a fair bit of vocal improvising (not that you would realise without knowing the source of the cover!).

Four until late

Appropriate to upload 'four until late' at 1.20am GMT when I should be in bed on a school night- the second recording from the Kingstown Blues Band's audition with bass player! It's a fairly short jaunt through the RJ classic with comments included! Playing fills and a solo with a Hohner CX12 and I am loving the bass guitar- headphones essential!

My band has just recruited a bass player and I thought I would share one or two ipad recordings from the audition, starting with this well covered number- it's a raw take (as are most of my uploads!) and I am playing, as is often the case in my band, an integral part as opposed to being the lead instrument. I am loving what the bass brings to our sound, however, and that's why I wanted to share this. There is no percussion her since our box slapping member could not attend... The harp is kept sparse to offer impact when the solo kicks in... continue reading...

Here we go....

My last recording before taking a break and review my first 3 achievement levels repertoire.

Rollin Rhumba, I focused on keeping myself on time and get to have a clean sound on short notes like this rhytm inspired. I know I will do better on slapping some notes in fast sequence, I will work on that while progressing.

Enjoy.

Snake oil

Here is my Snake oil recorded. Almost impossible to get that powerful sound like the original, i suppose it's a matter of a mix of embochure and equipments but I got fun playing it. Hope you all enjoy.

Blues for big nate

Hi to all!

While ending level 3 achievement I wanted to share with you my version of the artist's study song "blues for big nate". It has been a good challenging work, trying to imitate the full sound of the original version. I created a new chorus to fit the jam track and used the David's suggested chorus for ending the song. I hope you enjoy and your comments will be well accepted to better my skills.

I had been working on this for a while prior David's Tip of the Day commentary...... which really helped lock it in. I'm working on my vocals too :^)) haha might as well be ordinary at two things I recon!

Backing track: Shoblues Vol 4 Walters key to the Highway.

Telephone Blues Take 1

Inspired by George Harmonica Smith, this instrumental experiment borrows on several cover versions including the GHS version 1955. It's been an interesting journey and now feel I have plateaued out, so thought I might benchmark it here and revisit it in a years time or so. I hope you like it and welcome your comments........ cheers Julian

The backing track is from Shoblues Vol 4 "Standing By My Telephone"
