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


You know you're getting old when a recliner and a heating pad is your idea of a hot date!

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.


Enjoy whatever happens!

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

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

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.
