Boom Bass Blues Song

Hello people,

A whole song from me :smiley: (yes short, but still a whole one :blush:) it was a very long time ago on my part, I often want to demand a little too much from myself :blush:

luckily this time it went like… well “naturally” and all the years of licks and stuff are paying off a little now it seems :smiley:
Saying this above because I only did start the 2nd part on Monday morning Two days ago after a long break after the first half , it was put on video on Wednesday morning after an hour of trying/recording (and I worked a lot of hours on Monday and Tuesday of course)

Never before have I recorded something more than 1 lick so quickly and if I don’t have to look into the camera, I play it through in a relaxed manner every time without a single (big)mistake… that I noticed yesterday at the end of the day and also still this morning from the start …so so so happy with that :smiley: :sunglasses: :sweat_smile:

It’s a bit dark here, so I was able to get some mood lighting going and notice I took my most beautiful guitar off the wall :smiley:, which is a bit heavier, so it’s nice that it went well so quickly.

Greetings and I hope you like it ,thanks for passing by,

Rogier.

That was really good Rogier. Clearly the time and effort put into the piece and your Blim course has paid off. Lovely guitar and a super tone too. Well done.
Neat little remote on/off switch too. :grinning:

Sounding very good Roger. I know that song as John Lee Hooker’s Boom, Boom, Boom. You’ve done a great job of it; nice playing and tone.

Very good Roger!

Sounded just right to me.
Plus, I like that guitar your playing today too.
Sounds like hard work paying off to me… :slight_smile:

I shall refrain from any smart alec remarks, as that I really do want to encourage you to share more, my friend :smiley:
That was a smooth rendition of a blues tune that even I know.
Nice rhythm, tone. Lovely guitar.
If this is what the BLIM course does for you, I’m glad you signed up :smiley:

Hi Gordon @sairfingers,
Thank you very much and nice to read that apparently more people like the tone and yes that guitar is something different than the black one without a head …
and now that remote comes in handy for me… the best 4 (?) euros spent on all my guitar gear …
And about Blim , saying also to

Brian @brianlarsen ,
Thank you and we will see about that sharing :blush:
but I’m curious to what extent Blimm exactly helps me with this because actually what I find on the open site is still by far the most of what I use and since that course I haven’t spent much extra time with blues, the interest, reading about and listening to it was already part of my music life…
But…still very happy that I do the course watching the videos the first time with the guitar in hand is what I like a lot :smiley: :sunglasses: and even if it is more of sponsoring Justin it would be fine
…but sure in the long term, I would also use it as a reference work (the licks and some other stuff) when I have finished learning here with the “small” blues courses that cost a tenner …it is all good :smiley:

And yes Dave @oldhead49 thank you and it is the first where I also think of John Lee Hooker one :sunglasses:

And Jim @HappyCat Thank you very much :sunglasses: yes :sweat_smile: and
It was the hardest part Shane @sclay to keep it clean and not to “dead” I deleted a video and then listened to Justin again (ooo on acoustic) and only then noticed how “dry” he played it…

Thank you all for the kind comment :smiley: :sunglasses:

That was great, Rogier. Very well played; good timing, clean and lovely tone.

I was thinking the same. Have you placed you order Gordon so you can give that trademark smile, a little wink and press of the button?

Hi John @Willsie
Thank you I really enjoy playing it :smiley:, I’m even smiling now that I’m tapping it and thinken of playing soon (and even harder because I’m tapping this now and that makes me…okay stop I’m in a loop now :rofl:)

Thank you James @Socio nice words :grinning: ,

and now you let me look up :see_no_evil: where I first mentioned that remote because it was mentioned earlier (found very quickly :sweat_smile:) …I grossly exaggerated with those 4 euros (although now with inflation :money_with_wings:)

In Yesterday -first time that long ago

I practice that again with great regularity and will one day be re-recorded…someday, and not in as extreme a number of attempts as then :scream:

Greetings

All the best and hopefully see you soon somewhere around again,

Awesome Rogier and very relaxing, melodic and bluesy. That performance would be right at home in one of the many blues bars here in Chicago.

That did sound great, nice feel, nice picking, good muting on the bass line and a great tone as well. I think you’ve done this before…:+1:

Ok! Here it is already! It sounds great Rogier and…

:raised_hands::+1::clap::clap::clap::raised_hands: Bravo!!! I relate so much to the feeling of accomplishing a whole thing, and only short ones…when I record the long ones they’re always full of mistakes :see_no_evil::laughing:

This is great to read and heartwarming, being relaxed is not easy for a lot of us me included but we keep on going and develop that…don’t we? I could hear you were at your ease and relaxed :blush:

Hi Phil @philsmith
Thank you for dropping by and comment :smiley:

Hi Boris @Boris1565
Thank you and like I say some above the clean is good to read it was the hard part …

Although keeping time and occasionally looking into the camera as Mari @Mari63 demands of me/us :roll_eyes: :joy: is actually the most difficult thing because then I would always lose my time…
No joke Mari that I always think of you when I start practicing looking up at the window and looking at the camera for the first time too :smiley: :sunglasses:

and Dominique @domi7 thank you and you was also in my head :smile: when starting to get part two of this in my fingers/head because when you post yours I was bussy whith the first part and thinking ‘now I realy have to start with the rest’
I can do it up to Justin’s speed, but then it is even shorter :see_no_evil:and I have to keep looking at the neck without exeption…

Thank you too Jeremy @jgottwals nice that you are listening and nice comment :smiley:

Hi Jennifer @Jenndye429 ,
Thank you for your comment very nice and what you see is what i feel :smiley: :sunglasses:

I have been regularly watching old recordings lately and you can sometimes clearly see (and hear) that a lot of hard work is being done. :joy:

Greetings and thank to you alll very much… :sunglasses: :man_bowing:

Just finishing this writing up and come back for the rest because if I get a glitch all this typing will be for nothing…and my computer has had its “moments” in recent months
