Green Mountain Blues
I am working on solo arrangements for vocal/guitar (or maybe a duo with a drummer, since I'm married to one) that work as a complete performance piece, like for an open mic or maybe someday a bar or coffeehouse gig. Here is my cover of Your Mind Is On Vacation by Mose Allison, played as a blues in E. I mostly listened to versions by Mose Allison, also a cover by Buddy Guy.
I've tried here to come up with something that has more interesting rhythm and fills than my usual straightforward chord strumming yet still adequately maintains the chord structure, also including a solo that fits the song and keeps the rhythm & chord progression going on its own (without a band behind it).
I chose to do an intro from the V and to tag the last line for an outro - different from other versions - and I owe a lot to 52RF. Any feedback on any aspect is welcome, and nitpicking is encouraged.
