The camera wasn't rolling as I'm not feelin' all that incredible and I figured it would probably suck. The first part was marginal but then there was clean guitar sound with no echo and that came out Texas blues which didn't suck ... but the camera still wasn't rolling.
The bit starts on an E7 as you can set your pinkie finger just about anywhere on the third fret with that and it will sound cool. Get it a little jazzy with C9 and B9 then back to E7. That sounds like three chords but there are many more if you get your pinkie finger shaking things around. B9 becomes B7 sharp 9. I have no idea what that means musically except it sounds cool in that setting.
That gets a bluezy pattern going. Move it up to G7 to do it some more and maybe it starts toward a little bluez song but this is way cooler in the middle of the night and you just throw out the chords and you all go for it. If sex were better than a midnight jam, there would be no music as all of it comes out of that.
I do miss those jams in the Klemmer Mansion (it wasn't a mansion). I hope that still happens as I couldn't imagine that house without music coming out of it. Krackerjack rehearsed there. The Freezebirds were born there. Paul Delph played there.
Yah, yah, nostalgia.
So these weren't wimpy, whiny blues as I hate that crap but it was tight and clean which isn't something I usually do but it was feeling good.
The object isn't to be Texas as I'm not trying to be anything but the sound coming across was working so go with it and I liked what came of it. I'll take another whack at it later, this time with the camera running.
