Slow, Whiny Minor Blues [Archive]

K... So here is a slow whiny minor blues.
No mention of any gear used on this track (albeit this is the GearPage)
Seems they are yanking lots of posts and moving them to the Demo forum where they often tend to die a slow death.
While I totally understand the motive, and feel my 3 OD shootouts absolutely belong there, this is a tune moreso than a demo or gear comparison .
If they moved all the posts that mention gear, there would be little left on this forum IMHO :-)

Love hearing you play blues Harry......those bits of feedback are great do you do all the vol swells with the vol pot or foot. :AOK

Harry,

Playing those blues like water flowing.

Thx guys :-)
That's the Tele volume pot. I start out with the vol near 8 or so, do some swells here and there and dime it somewhere in the middle of the tune. All bridge pickup except for a short phrase on the neck toward the end

Nice sustain...:banana

But you used a guitar and an amp...

We will have to move this thread!

Seriously though, why not just repost former clips as songs, sans reference to gear.

HarryJ

03-28-2009, 05:12 PM

Thx Carl
That is what I did
I totally understand why they yanked mine based on my choice of headline words... just that most of the folks I know, hang 'round these parts :-)

I signed up for Matt's, which one do you think would be for the more advanced students?

HarryJ

04-04-2009, 07:39 PM

Thx Mike,
Only remember a few Peter Green tunes from early Fleetwood Mac days... need to hear some more

Regarding NGW classes, all classes change based on the level of the students. Both are great teachers and great friends... do one this year, and the other next :-)

Thx guys,
Not familiar with Andy Latimer... heard Camel a few times decades ago... cool band

Lasse, I use different picks all the time for various tonal difference, or effect. This was a standard Dunlop 1.0

Here is my pick collection:

It's a good tune for something bluesy without being a 'blues'. Lots of gaps in the vocals to inject blusey lines, and builds nicely to point up the solos when they arrive.
