Back to the Basics After my last couple of songs I thought that I should get back to the basics so here is a simple blues number. BiaB style = Burdened Slow 12-8 MIDI Blues Tempo = 60 BPM I deleted the bass. Piano - Keys of the 70's - Piano C5 Strings - UVI - B5 Organ Drums - BlueJay Drums I am playing the: Bass - Squire P-Bass through Amplitube Guitar - Xaviere P-90 guitar through Amplitube Harmonica - via my keyboard controller - Kontakt - Chris Hiens Chromatic Harmonica
My goal this weekend is to move just enough each day so that no one pokes me to see if I'm dead or not.

Oh, yeah!! Basically excellent, Mario. I once played in a band I called Blues' Branches because EVERY song stems from the blues. That harmonica sounds really good coming from a controller. Chromatic not diatonic, like Toots Thieleman playing the blues. The guitar has so much feeling and taste.

Really cool little tune Mario! It sounds like it could be in the background of an old James Garner or Burt Reynolds movie (the moon-shiner cowboy bar scene genre).

Nice performances.
For us blues is all about soul irrespective of the number and/or complexity of the chords. A simple progression is fine.
And this has soul in spades!

Mario,
An outstanding blues tune... Awesome playing and mix.
The harmonica track is a real standout.
Excellent!

Mario, Nice laid back blues tune! Harmonica through your controller sounds very convincing. Nice bass too. Has a good live feel. Thank you for sharing. Misha.

Hi Mario,
Well, this is a bit different from your side, but very, very pleasing. The harmonica really makes the melody!
Your own made bass is very good, but only because I am curious: why did you remove the bass from BiaB. couldn't you find a proper one?
Cheers, Hans

Hi Mario,
You can't go wrong with a good slow Blues - especially in 12/8.
I particularly like the Blues Harp which has a lovely haunting tone.
Well Done
Best Regards Nigel

Nice one. Production is great. Everything is so clear. The harmonica is "well played". Great guitar work. Nice.

Perfect for a long drive home to unwind from the day Mario! Love the slow laid back vibe! Very nice job on the instruments you played! You got me wanting to try a blues tune but I'm afraid Dave and Marty might be listening lol. Take care, Torrey

Thanx everyone for taking the time to listen and comment on this little ditty. I greatly appreciate all of the comments.
Hans, "Your own made bass is very good, but only because I am curious: why did you remove the bass from BiaB. couldn't you find a proper one?"
I just like to play my instruments. I know that I am nowhere as good as what BiaB can give me but I get more enjoyment in playing then in auditioning various BiaB parts. Sometimes I take what BiaB gives and other times I just want to play my instrument. This was one of those times.
My goal this weekend is to move just enough each day so that no one pokes me to see if I'm dead or not.
