Back Alley Blues

[Elio]

I still have some problems to iron out of this and I really need to learn how to do the fast tremolo picking in the second half of the solo, but I got this to the point where I was finally comfortable submitting it for Griff's Fix-it session today.

The tone features my Spark Amp using the Blues Ark preset, along with my MiM strat with @Rancid Rumpboogie 's Klein Epic '57 pickups. The comping is using an SRV Clean preset on the Spark Amp.

Very nice Elio & i watched Griff's take on this yesterday as well. Its a great track and you have inspired me to have a go at this. Where did your backing tracks (drums & bass), come from?

Thanks! That's from 5 Easy Blues Songs. I just used the jam track from the course with drums and bass, and no rhythm or lead guitar..

Great job!
Only complaint is I kept hoping for another window to open and the Congas to make an appearance.

 

[Mickey Duane]

One of these days I'll work them in but so far I've only learned to do two videos at a time!

Elio,

I loved your Georgia performance, but this is even better. Any chance that you could share the tabs? I really would like to learn this. By the way, nice work with the 2 videos.

Thank you! The tabs, notation, and lessons are all in Griff's course, 5 Easy Blues Songs, where he teaches 5 different instrumental songs he created. If you're an AAP member, you should see it along with all the other courses.

Thanks for the nice words about the video. That was my first attempt at synching videos using picture in picture. Next time I'll try it with split screens

Impressive playing and technical mastery.

 

[Crossroads]

Well done dude. Nice tone and phrasing.

Great playing and demo of the Spark! (haven't bought one yet but when I hear tones like yours it gets me closer!)

 

[Many Moons]

That was really nice playing Elio.

I've been really impressed with some of the tones I have been able to get out of that thing. With the USB interface, it really great for recording.

Thanks! Busking sounds fun, so just as soon as I accumulate enough $1 bills and loose change to get people to stay and listen to me, let's do it!
