Getting The Blues

I know it's two posts today but I've got a new challenge.  

​So this week is all about the blues (in more sense than one!), I love the blues but I can't play anything (except the blues scale which on it's own is a little dull!) on any instrument soooooo I'm diving in head first eek.  The challenge I've set myself this week is to record one full blues song, intro, verses, chorus, outro etc and record it.  Being as I'm doing this totally solo I'm feeling a little ........ ok a LOT ​

Aww - breaking into a side note - I have to tell you all what a wonderful man I married - I'm feeling really low today (I've suffered with depression since I was 12 and I have my good days and I have my really tough ones) and he's literally just text me and told me to go to my fav record shop. :)  I may be a royal PITA but the simplest of things mean so much to me.

Anyway back on track .... This time I'm going simple simple simple to the extreme.  I've already found several cool blues drum rhythms to play with and I've been playing over the top of some traditonal blues songs to get an idea of a few more.  Then it's on to Bass Guitar because I will HAVE to keep that dead simple, then guitar and finally piano.  It's going to be one hell of a week but I'm actually looking forward to it.  I'll keep a note of any YouTubers, websites or books I find particularly helpful and I guess watch this space for the result.

I may be down but you can never count this girl out!!!!
