Just finished this Covid 19 inspired tune in the style of B.B. King / Chicago blues. Be well!

Authentic Chicago Blues. Good number. Really loved that electric guitar and harp.

HI Tom ...

Nice to "meet" you! This is the first of your songs that I've heard. Sure am glad I did! Nothing like a good walking 4/4 Blues number. And this is a really good one. Nice lyric and excellent guitar playing. You put together some real nice backing tracks for this one. The tone of your guitar is perfect ... has a 335 or 355 feel. I've had two 335s but never a 355.

Nice job on the harmonica, too. This is a real sweet listen. Thanks for the great entertainment!

Best to you and be safe ...

Alan

Thank you Al David. I am so glad you enjoyed the tune. I had a blast creating / performing / mixing it.

I have many high end guitars but tI always wanted at 335. The prices are ridiculous and Gibsons reputation has been tarnished in recent years. So I found an alternative made by Ibanez that is a wonderful semi-hollow body guitar called the Artstar 153 AYS. Its a fine instrument. I am glad I discovered it and it was just right for this song.

Tom ...

I've not had a chance to play an AS153, but yours sounds great. For my jazz numbers, I use a Stromberg Monterey semi-hollow body. I'm pretty happy with it. I don't do a lot of my own lead work any more because of a medical condition that affects the control of myhands and fingers (Focal Dystonia). I usually use a BIAB RT. But, for what it's worth, here's a link where you can here the Monterey, if you're interested.

I enjoyed this - the tone of the guitar is awesome, and it flows tremendously well. The harp fix snug in the mix as well.

Nice work - thanks for sharing smile
