Blues 101 - Randall822
21st May 2008 15:16 - 18 years ago
Description : Okay...here is my 3rd song and it is a 2 part song. This is a Blues tune and about as 'blues' as you can get! The 1st part is a slow 78 bpm with Acoustic guitar tuned to an open 'E' using a slide. Also, using an acoustic bass and drums. Part of this is from a loop CD, as I am playing the bass and drum parts too.
The guitar is fingerpicked so you'll even hear the strings slap against the neck now and then. :-)
The 2nd part starts about 3 seconds after the 1st is done, and it features a Fender Strat tuned to an open "C' using a slide as well, and the guitar has a 'crunchy' sound at 93 bpm. I am playing bass and drums on this also, and with the help of a loop CD. I used effects such as compressors, limiters and reverb in both songs.
Took me month working on this, so now I am off to work on something else. Hope you like them,
Randy

So you found another of my few Blues songs. Glad you liked this one. Blues isn't my favorite type of music, thus I have only made a few of them. But am happy you enjoyed it.
Randy
Thanks for your review of at least 5 of my tunes thus far. I appreciate all your comments and will answer each one a little later. I am working a lot of hours now and and don't have much time to review others tunes at this moment....but I will..so don't worry.
I will be making another modern country tune(s) with my Telecaster as soon as work slows down.
I guess if you read my profile and saw my Gallery, then you probably seen the guitars I use and my home studio setup.
Bye for now and I am glad you enjoyed my other tunes as well. I strive for quality in my playing and/or assembling of loops of instruments I don't play or own.
Thanks again,
Randy
Sweet job
Looks like your making the rounds of my tunes. Great...I am sure most of them will be quite different than you have heard before as I try not to copy anyone.
I am glad you enjoyed the Blues 101 tune. That was the 1st blues tune I made. The second and third ones are a lot different yet.
Not sure what your hearing in the second part of 101. It is in a 'C' tuning as whereas the first part was in "E" tuning.
I used my Strat on that one with a combo of slide, picking and overdubbing to fill it out more.
I'd love to give you more reviews of your songs, but you only have 1 up and I reviewed that one already. When are you gonna make more?? I like your music really.
Anyways, thanks for the nice review,
Randy
Thanks for your kind review. I do Country, Blues and Rock as I like all 3 genre. Probably would be better if I stuck to one, but I grew up in the 60-70's era and I like all that music.
Thanks again,
Randy
Thank you for reviewing one of my Blues tracks.
I appreciate the comment and will certainly check out one of your tunes in a bit.
Randy
respect to you for playing all your instruments.
I appreciate your review and comments. I'll check out one of your tunes tonight.
Thanks again,
Randy
Thanks for reviewing one of my Blues tracks. Yeah, I know what you mean...Blues will never die...just like rock-n-roll won't. I will review some of your songs as well and listen to the Muddy Waters one you mentioned.
Thanks again,
Randy
-anyways, i quite liked this, the fender part is far better than the acoustic part it has a more in your face blues appeal.
Peace,
DJ_JEZZA
Thanks for listening and reviewing my tune. I know exactly what you mean about hearing the same over and over.
In this song I tried to show both instrument sides....acoustic and electric. Glad you liked one of them. :-)
Randy
Thanks for listening and reviewing my Blues song.
'Slide' is fairly easy actually. You can tune your guitar to an open tuning like "E" or "G" which is the same as a normal Dobro and 5 string Banjo tuning, and when you strum across, you have a full chord without actually having to 'fret' the instrument.
Sounds cool. It is easier if you have 2 guitars tho....one tuned to normal and an extra one to fool around with. You can use slide in a normal "E" tuning, but you get a different sound.

Hey....thanks so much for listening/reviewing my song 'Blues 101'. I appreciate the review and will later today listen to some of your tunes as well and give you feedback.
Randy
Thanks for the review. If you haven't already, take a listen to the Blues song I uploaded yesterday called 3 Part Blues. You may like that as well.
Thanks for your reviewing my Altern-Rock song as well. More to come.
Randy
Art
Thanks for the review. I certainly appreciate it.
Glad you like both parts. Since the individual songs were so short, I felt that I needed to do something...so I made the tune into 2 songs with totally different sytles. Sometimes your mind goes blank after starting a song. :-)
In my next Blues song, I have put in a Fender Strat again, doing some cool harmonics. Again it will be a 2 part song only because I couldn't get the 1st part out of my head and it is short.
Features mostly Dobro sound/slide as lead.
I'll check some of your songs here and give a review.
Randy
Only problem is they were to short could of just kept on listening. There are some geniuses here and you're one of them.
Blair
Thanks so much for reviewing my tracks. I appreciate the nice comments. I agree the songs are a little short. However, It is hard making a instrumental unless you add in a lot of different instruments or parts....as a song will get boring pretty fast.
However, I'll try and make my next songs a little longer. :-)
I am just getting back into making music again after nearly over 20 year of hanging it up....because of rotating shiftwork.
Thanks again for the review.
Randy
Thanks for the review. When my next Blues song comes out, you might want to consider buying a case of beer!
:-)
Thanks again,
Randy
I promised to review your song and also delete my wrong review.
I think this song is great. Both parts have that original blues touch that many so called bluesplayers don't have. This could be made in the Delta. I also like the choice of instruments. If you like I invite you to slide on one of my songs. It would be great if someone from the States and me from Holland could do something together. What do you think?
Gerard
I appreciate your review, but apparently your reviewing a different song than mine. My song is totally an instrumental and I don't sing at all, nor play a clarinet. Thanks anyways. :-)
Randy
Thanks for the review. Basically I get the sound in my head and then search for a drum set that will match it. If I can't find one, then I make up my own drums. A cool place to get live acoustic sounding drums is at: Betamonkeymusic.com. They also have free samples to download...including heavy double bass (kick) drums kits for rock music.
My next song will be partly a more familiar 12 bar Blues shuffle type beat.
Thanks again,
Randy
Thanks for the nice review. I just woke up to check my mail, and your message was the first I seen. I liked the live feel as well as I left eveything in...including string buzz noise, etc.
Thanks again,
Randy
Thanks for your comment. I appreciate it very much. I'll be doing some more Blues and Country songs soon. I'll get to review some of your
song(s) and others that gave me a review as well, very soon.
Randy
Thank you for reviewing my song. I appreciate it very much....as if a majority of people didn't like it, or the sound, then I'd obviously need to change something.
Getting it to sound good is my main goal after getting the tracks laid down. It's wonderful to have all the tools they have these days available so you can do a song justice.
I am not that good at slide really, but I try. Just go real slow and do a half dozen notes at a time until you have it down so it feels natural.
Then go another 6 notes or so. Once you can get a half a dozen notes down good, record them on a track, and then keep adding to it and edit as you need.
Pretty soon, you'll have a whole tune done!
I mean this song took me a whole month to do that way.
Good luck with your playing and learning,
Randy
you really have a lot of feeling for the strings ...
and a very very good timing, that's one of the most important things ....
great work, immense talent!!
deep respect, rei
Thanks for reviewing my latest song! Hopefully I'll get better doing songs on the computer as most people seem to be doing it that way these days.
A lot of editing of commercial songs is all done on computers.
As far as timing, yeah, my earlier songs of 5-6 years ago, I had timing issues. I started using a click track, or metronone, and that straightened it all out for me.
Randy
But now I have decided to get back into it. So stay tuned. Not sure you'll like all the types of music I'll try, but I'll do another Blues tune of a different style, down the road.
Randy
