Blues Newbie
Hello All:
My name is Mary Ann. I'm a new member who has been enjoying Griff's videos from his e-newsletters for years. I finally decided to get some lessons, starting with Minor Pentatonic Blues, which came with 4-note Soloing lesson videos, too. I'm very happy to become part of Griff's community!
I have a show coming up on Feb 6 in N. Hollywood, CA at The Other Door Bar, 9PM (for any of you in my neck of the woods). I am so far appreciating how working through the lessons is making my finger placement more sure so I can sing and not have to look down so much at the fretboard. Also, it's helped me figure out some blues solos, recognizing they are just simple these little patterns that sound so great!
I'm planning to get an AKG C520 headset mic so I can stop having to step up to a mic altogether but haven't yet. I like hunkering down with my guitar and singing softly in my home studio so I am setting up my live gear so that performing can be as much like hunkering down in a corner at home as possible. I'm also using a Voicelive 3 pedal for guitar/vocal effects and harmonies. It's best with a supercardiod mic to keep down unwanted feedback, but I'm wanting to use a wired system and can't find a supercardiod headset mic that isn't wireless. But since it's right in front of my mouth I think it will work.
If anyone has experience in a live performance setting with any of the equipment I've mentioned above, feel free to share! Otherwise, just feel free to give a shout out and say hello if you are so inclined. I'm looking forward to reading other people's entries and getting to know other guitarists/performers in the forum.
Best regards,
Mary Ann V
