B Flat Canyon Blues
September 24, 2007
Another short piece that I whipped up in a couple hours for the heck of it. I felt like doing something today and I came up with this little beat and bass line. The day before I had been practicing a little with some heavy reverb on my amp and trying to play slow and pretty. It's not easy. And Blues is especially hard to do well. The notes of the blue scale sound good so that part is simple, but actually playing them well is something you can spend your life trying to do. I decided that I didn't want to work on this that long, so I only did like 10 or so tries (not including the little bit of octave doubling I did). I wanted the end of the thing to just sort of wash out in reverb, but I couldn't get it to quite work how I wanted. It's OK though. I played the white strat only.Comments

Experiments in guitar recording.
Little nuggets of guitar playing for your (but especially my) enjoyment.
From the very beginning when I used to hear those solos on those old records I used to say: now here is an instrument that is capable of spewing forth true obscenity, you know? If ever there's an obscene noise to be made on an instrument, it's going to come out of a guitar. On a saxophone you can play sleaze. On a bass you can play balls. But on a guitar you can be truly obscene... Let's be realistic about this, the guitar can be the single most blasphemous device on the face of the earth. That's why I like it... The disgusting stink of a too-loud electric guitar: now that's my idea of a good time.
