Regal Blues

Dave & I put together a blues instrumental inspired by Albert King hence the songs name.

For those interested in who what & how:

I played the 12 bar intro theme and then took the first solo, Dave the 2nd, I took the 3rd, Dave then burned up the fret board on the scintillating 4th solo and we both played to the end.

Dave played a Stratocaster through S-Gear Amps and I played an ES-335 through an Atomic Amplifire.

The Band:
RealTracks in style: 1717:Bass, Electric, TexasBluesRockStraight Ev 120
RealTracks in song: ~673:Organ, B3, Background Blues BB Ev 085
RealTracks in style: 1718:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm TexasBluesRockStraightBrent Ev 120
RealDrums in style: RockSyncKick^01-a:ClHtSn, b:OpHtSn

We hope you like it.

Hello Peter. The riff on the intro drew me into this powerhouse tune.
There is lots going on here to listen to.

Peter & Dave,

That is some HOT blues!

Excellent playing throughout. Very MUSICAL leads. Interesting, listenable all the way... super back-and-forth playing.

Excellent mix. Everything holds up - nice drums and bass to back you up...

SO, SO good! Like Bob said, y'all could do an album of this stuff!!!

A big WOW, boys...

Wow, what a tune! Within just the first few bars - that opening riff is unreal! It has so much energy, and there is so much charisma in the guitar work - I love it! I just imagine hearing this performed live, and losing my mind. The way the guitars weave together here is phenomenal.

You should be proud of this - thanks so much for sharing smile


Cheers,

This is awesome. At beginning it sounds kind of like the Doors.

Hey we haven't done a Doors parody on the forum yet to my knowledge.

Hmmmmmmm..

Is that "challenge accepted"?

Thanks for the invite to play on this, Peter!

I had a great time throwing out some Albert King licks, he is one of my favorite players of all time.

My favorite part is the last 12 bars where we trade licks.

Lets do it again sometime!

Peter/Dave,
WOW! The dream guitar team trading licks. Great live band sound and interesting to get a feel for who`s playing where... I was getting most right until the end when you guys really took off and left me breathless.
More please.

That was awesome Peter and Dave The backtrack and your playing were just awesome. I remember seeing a documentary with Albert King and Stevie Ray playing back and forth to each other This reminded me of that. Super chops and such cool tone from each of your guitars Well done

Hello, Peter and Dave

Really nice session!
The riff on the intro is splendid.
As David said, at beginning it sounds kind of like the Doors.

It get's no better. Two of the main blues men playing our favorite genre.

Some back and forth like this will often wrench out the best one has to offer and we gotta believe it was happening here.

Scorching, heartfelt and soulful playing. We could've listened through a Allman Bros length jam with this!

Not gonna parse this out. It's all good......

Wowzer!
