It was longer, about six and a half minutes. I faded it out!

What is there to interest the listener? I don't know, I suspect it depends on the listener. Some people like that sort of thing. Personally, and I know it sounds selfish, I don't think about listeners, I just play it as I feel it. It comes out and is what it is.
Don't forget there was no melody as such, it's just going round the 12-bar progression. I enjoyed doing it, that's all. If others like it, that's fine, but I'm not looking for recognition.
Again, like mine, that is what it is. It's probably more interesting to some ears than mine but it has a different flavour. I have to say I don't hear much of a blues progression or blues feel. What was the form?

Ok. I still didn't hear it as a blues. Is it just me?

(You did keep the time very well, I tested it. That was impressive)
* Maybe if the AbM7 was Ab7...

The guitar teaches the guitarist how to play music. Originally Posted by kris

A musician sees an instrument like a tool, some are more comfortable than others.
There is a joke for that, Stratocasters are for guitarists, telecasters are for musicians.

In that case, I am neither :-)

I know you'd stayed virgin for many years, girls came to you because you played the guitar.
When you wanted to do interesting things with them, they usually said : "No, no, keep the guitar !"
For sure it's not comfortable.

It was totally different... :-) Originally Posted by Lionelsax
