This blues swing is one of the first short instrumentals I did 2020 when I picked up guitar playing again after a "short" break of 25 years! I decided to make this REMIX version little more modern sounding with higher tempo. From BIAB I used WRONGED.STY where I kept Drums (Michael White) and Bass Alex Al. Those two are just GREAT musicians who have played with a lot of stars like Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder and many more. It's so cool that we BIAB user can access their beautiful playing. In LOGIC PRO I played all guitars and 4 different Synth keyboards. I often develop the "songs" out of something I practice on guitar. It's more fun to practice playing a song than scales. I hope it's ok to put Instrumental stuff here too? My take on this is to hold them short, about 1.5 -> 2 minutes, like music snacks so people aren't bored.
Your playing sounds like a practice exercise like you mentioned, doesn't mean it doesn't work though. Right at the fadeout at the end I could hear you start getting into some bluesy licks.
Good stuff, I enjoyed your music snack Nothing wrong with posting instrumentals, lots of people here do.
Sören, I wish my old fingers could wake up like that! Super runs, great tone. A great exercise practice turned into a song - brilliant. Yes, we need more instrumentalists here!
The bumper sticker said "I'm a veterinarian, therefore I can drive like an animal". Suddenly I realized how many proctologists are on the road.
64 bit Win 10 Pro, the latest BiaB/RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software/hardware
Cool song. I think all riffs some how from from a previous lesson or something we heard in the past. A lighter touch, a pause, sitting on a note while the rest of the band takes off down the road all makes for some excellent instrumental or fills and solos. Well done.
Thanks Mario, Scott and Pete. It's a fun little song to play I'm happy with the sound of the remix. For you guys who use Logic Pro X I must say try the new Mastering Tool in the latest version. It's pretty amazing!
Sören, This is great! Your playing is done so well and with precision that I would love to have! It's a very good instrumental with a really well-balanced sound! I enjoyed it! Take care, TB
I think it's a nice song with some cool guitar noodling (wish I could play like this) and pretty well mixed. And, as others have said, nothing wrong with instrumentals.
That was a short story you wanted to share with us! But a nice one. Personally I would like to hear more melody and less riffs, but this song was too short to bother ;-)
Good pickin'. Someone that plays that well should not be taking such a long break! I like the instrumentals that are put on here, so I hope you keep them coming. Personally, I thought this one was a little too short. Stretching it out some might make more melodic and less like a practice session? I like your playing and mixes.
I really got into that from the get go, but then was so disappointed that it vanished after 2 minutes! I want more, more, I tell you, more! I've been using BiaB to create instrumentals alone as I can't record where I live and my shortest track was 3:24, the longest 8:16 (which had a good response). Most are over 5 minutes, including my most recent, "Quan Yin", which is 6:44. So someone with your talent shouldn't be limiting yourself on time.
Some favourite Waoist Adages: #1: Play on the Way. #13: Ask not for whom the flower blooms, it blooms for you. #58: Bring consciousness to it. #63: On the road to effortlessness, effort must be made. #92: Be Love Now, the rest will come on its own.
Haha, when I started doing instrumentals I decided to do them short, around two minutes. I thought without singing and lyrics people will be bored pretty fast. So, big thanks but I think I keep ‘m short. And do more instead. 😎🎸👍
Very smooth backing track. Great guitar links, interesting scales. I was expecting more blues from you title but wasn't disappointed in your performance.
Everything is there to expand it into a cool blues instrumental. Being blue folks we had no problem imagining where it could go.
Nice little ditty and we enjoyed it!
