Excuse the bedhead & low resolution. Yesterday morning I was noodling around on the ceramic guitar I made & took a quick cell phone video of a composition I don't want to forget. Watch the making of the guitar here: https://youtu.be/gWe9exqV5e0
Perhaps I have a hint of the uptempo blues in me after all? Maybe once I get this refined and smoothed out I can make a proper video. Hope everyone's having a good weekend!

Janet,you are just wasting time trying to relate a blues intent to a time signature, some tunes just claim there own ground

Comment by Janis Wilson Hughes on February 6, 2017 at 4:31am

Thank you Pick!

Darryl, thank you so much! It reminds me of some song too, but I couldn't figure out what. Not being a big blues aficionado myself, I'm not sure what tune that's sounding like. It's some sort of up tempo blues. At any rate I look forward to playing with it more to fill it out and polish it up. Since I usually don't connect much with playing the blues, I was surprised when this came out of my fingers. I was like, where'd that come from?! I actually asked my husband, "what style of music is this? Is this the blues?" Hahah! ;) I just love playing, though. It feels good. I'm excited to keep growing. I want to get better at it.

That sounds magic Janis, and the riff is strong, it reminds me of some tune, but can't get it

mighty fine stuff Janis

Thank you SmilingDog! :) That's my Fender Hot Rod Deluxe. I built a power soak for it about 14 years ago, so I can really get sweet tube tone at lower volume. Glad I learned how to solder back then, because it's really helpful now that I'm into cbg's. It's almost shocking to me how good that rod piezo sounds on this guit. It gives me the best Money for Nothing distortion through the Roland Micro Cube, too. It's surprising, but I'm taking it as a gift from above & enjoying it!

Good tune, really like the tone coming from your amp.

Comment by Janis Wilson Hughes on February 5, 2017 at 3:03am

You guys are so awesome! 

Uncle John, yes it definitely needs a closer!

Thank you Jim, I'm really pleased with the tone too. 

Love the lyrics Dave, now I'm gonna have that going through my head this morning! :D

Thank you Derek!
