Post nightshift attempt at Hendrix Style rhythm with fills and embellishments. Not really practiced this specifically for a while so was quite shocked when it came together. (missed beat 1 of the first Bm so technically added a beat in the first bar, but the rest was pretty good).
I guess my work practicing triads and lead is paying off. Chord shapes are grabbed quickly now, especially the full C shape barre which I find awkward most of the time
Had a bit of a hiatus on the video front due to unfortunate circumstances.
But on a positive note, played at my first jam night and bought a bass guitar and have spent a couple of weeks learning things on that, great fun.
Manged to get some audio recordings done recently whilst playing around in my DAW.
Here is a very rough draft of a Blues demo riff idea. Itâs right on the edge of my muting ability so is pretty messy. Also really needs a vocal and central theme to be fleshed out into a working song idea, doubt Iâll be providing my own voice for vocals but you never know
Listen to Funky blues riff idea by Enky08 on #SoundCloud
Created what I thought was a catchy riff thing using G Dorian. Pity about the lead improv. Tried not to play blues but realised I have no real speed or repertoire with 3 notes per string stuff so find it very slow and cumbersome. Good fun though and I like the rhythm part!
Traded in my Epiphone 335 and Vintage strat for this Gretsch 5420t. Really wanted something with a Bigsby and some character. Loving it these first couple of days
Another blues improv update. Not happy with the improv, feel like when red light fever hits I play the same old stuff. Time to learn some new licks and some new ways of playing over a blues, it all feels very stale now
The âsame old stuffâ can sometimes be a pleasant listen. You will go off in other directions when the time comes. Meantime youâre playing is in time and a good complement to the backing track.
My piano chops are not upto scratch but I tried for ages to improvise something decent on guitar and just couldnât find any inspiration so went with an organ type vibe!
Funk rhythm guitar is some of the most fun you can have!!
Seem to be drawn to funk a bit more at the moment. Always enjoyed listening to it since I was a teenager. Wouldnât be complete without wah pedal and blues style lead ha!
