I'll check them!

As an Argentinian I recommend you this legendary blues album:

Blues is no longer my thing but I really enjoyed listening to it! I didn't understand much, though. Here's one of most popular Dżem songs:

It sounds really good! If you like rock, I recommend you to check this band. Once again, you won't understand any word....

I hope I'm not too late to the party. Few mistakes here and there, but I hope it works:





Hmm, is it my ear or is there intonation issues in my take now that I listen to it again? I just put on new strings, so they might not have settled completely yet.

Cool stuff ben!! I'm gonna make time to do a take on this one!! I keep getting swamped with other things. By golly I"m gonna do a take on this is if hair lips the governor!!

Killer playing Ben!!!! Great to have your take here!! Thanks a lot my friend.

PS: Not dramatic tuning issues here.

Good job your paying is fast



Hi

I like your playing, it looks so much like the old blues that I’ve always listened to.
I read your post on your stop to the practice of guitar, your playing did not suffer.
it is always as hot and cool

Hi Adam! what scale are you using for this jam?

I think it was Minor Pentatonic. You posted the Blues scale but I'm not used tohitting blue notes. I just played what I felt sounds well. Did it go wrong? I'm really sorry, then!

Unfortunately you've deleted it so I can re-check, but from what I could hear, there were some wrong notes there.

Try this scale over the backing, and share a quick take just for checking.

We are on a learning process here so don't worry about sharing takes that have issues. The main goal here is to learn while having fun!

I'm sorry about that. It was so bad, my ears were bleeding. Now that I think about it, I could've used B minor instead. I've been practicing daily over Valley of Fire backing track and it really got into my fingers. As I said, I won't be uploading anything until Monday's exams etc. so I won't mind if you finsh this one without me

Yes, although this would give you a very different experience than playing the same set of notes over a B minor backing track. Since this blues is in E, you'd get more of a Dorian feel. C# is a major 6th over E and that's a "Dorian interval".
In my humble opinion you'd be playing E Dorian, not B minor

No problem mate! Take your time and keep me update here or at the mentoring thread so I can help you with this one. In your previous take, you were targeting Bm chord tones so you tend to end and start your phrases in notes that weren't really connected with the backing. I suspect that this won't happen if you think and play E minor Pentatonic while improvising.






The mode is not in the notes that you play, it's the notes that you emphasize to get the colour, without losing the overal root chord feel. Even playing E dorian, it's important to be able to identify and target notes from E chord, mostly every time that E chord sounds which in this case is dominant. If you play and stay on C# every time that E7 sounds, it will sound "out", and that's what it was happening.

Starting with Pentatonics and gradually adding the notes is what Lord Guthrie taught us.

Eh. I thought Adam is planning to use B minor over that blues backing track. Not that he has used it already. My reading with understanding skill clearly needs some work

hahaha yeah, he's shared a take previously and that's what we were talking about.
