Members Dark Slide Posted November 11, 2005 Members Share Posted November 11, 2005 Ok, so I don't play the {censored}ing blues except on the rare ocassion that someone can convince me to sit in on a song or two... and even then I usually can make it through more than a minute or two before my mind starts wandering and I start getting weird looks due to the weird {censored} I am playing... but here's a quick video. I had a hard time even doing this without getting bored and made sure to edit the videos before I started wanking too much. My hat is off to those of you who can have a good time playing this stuff.http://www.hatredalive.com/nicks/blues.wmv Yeah, it sucks. I flub a few notes and my timing is sketchy in a couple of points... but if you think I am doing more than one take playing this stuff, you're nuts. Maybe tonight when I get back from band practice I might be ready to make another quick one with some drums, but I wouldn't get my hopes up.

Members wabbit Posted November 12, 2005 Members Share Posted November 12, 2005 Best thing to help me out was the blues scales. G------------------------ D---------5-7----------- A-----5-7----7-5------- E-5-8------------8-5--- thats the lues acale A play it anywhere on the fretboard its a blues scaled sounds awsome in most type sof music too G------------------------------------------------ D---------------------------5-6-7--------- A-------------4----47----7----------------- E-----5-----5-------------------------------------- bit of a blues riff in the A scale..^^ You can go out of the scales, but only a fret, maybe slide up 2 then back down. Normally its like... 1st grovbe 4x 2nd grove 1x 1st grove 1x Chorus 3rd grove x1 2nd groove x1 1st grove x1 And normally basing on the start location it would go like such. (Lets use it starting in A scale) A scale x4 D scale x1 A scale x4 chorus E (on the 7th fret on the a string) scale x1 D scale x1 A scale x1 You just mess around alot with those and blues comes real easily, along with ALOT of other genres.

Members syciprider Posted November 12, 2005 Members Share Posted November 12, 2005 I liked it. DS is just trying to impress a "cool" image hence the tone of his post. But he plays well. Derek, if you want to play Dark Slide's little doodle, don't forget to drop half a step. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Moody Johnny Posted November 12, 2005 Members Share Posted November 12, 2005 A lot people on this thread have posted their blues thingies 4/4 and major, which I have always associated with boogie rather than blues. Not that I know anything deeper about blues. But here's a couple of clips I just recorded for this thread. They're in slow 6/8 and in blues minor. No drums, just bass alone, I didn't even use any kind of metronome so the timing might be way off. All the "exercises" are played twice in these clips. First a scale I'm using for these clips:Blues scale A minor Then a blues thingie I came up with staying in A minor:Theme in A minor And finally growing the theme into a full 12 bar riff. I made a couple of dumb mistakes along the way and didn't care to retake, don't be bothered by it:Moody Johnny's 12-bar blues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like I'm gonna have to dig my blues books out and start working out a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tokai passive Jazz Bass with newish roundwounds. Made in Korea (rolling eyes at myself ), so not exactly boutique equipment, but for the price it's nice. I might have to raise the action a bit. (It's a new acquisition, so I'm still getting familiar with it.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
