Welcome all to a Springing Spring, to stir up some interest, @guidothepimmp had his arm tweaked into something bluesy - hold on though....there's a twist 👍

I can go with the blues. How about working some techniques.. so a blues jam of your choice with the following

  • Use at least 2 dominant 7 chords
  • Include some pre and post bending in any solo
  • Include at least a slide into or out of a note (if that makes sense?)

Either that or turn your favourite TV show theme tune into a blues track

P.s. If your favourite theme is from a movie or game and you are inspired - go for it!

Otherwise, any instruments and any recording devices. Make it happy, make it sad, make it funny. Whatever it is, make it an entry!

Sounds like a fun challenge. I'd like to enter but I've got a busy month ahead of me so I'll see how far I get.

Quick thread update, we've got a public holiday on the 1st, @Bluetone was cool with a deadline extension, so you have a whole extra day!

Xmas did come early 😆

    Soundcloud recommends #Jazzfunk for this one and they're not completely wrong...I learnt it at the lazz workshop from a funky Spencer! It does qualify via the criteria...two dom7 chords, loads of slides and I'm sure the harp bits have some prebends in there somewhere 😆

    I've added a good few fills and tweaks over the years, it's basically a two part groove that can you can duet/loop over itself - sneaky fun. All 'vocals' and harps are from a loopmaster blues session pack - yeah, I totally overused the happy harp one 😉

    Far from my best effort, but I hope I got that groove out my system for a few months, it was driving me crazy.

    Ooof, procrastination got the better of me.. again, threw together a slapdash blooose tune. Very basic, and listening back.. probably quicker than it should be.
    Couple of takeaways, it is really difficult to noodle coherently for prolonged periods.. I fear I have discovered a pattern to my box playing, and.. my fingers were shot and so you get to hear it with all the lemons 🙂

    Thanks for the extension Bluetone!
