ok i recorded this so i would remember this riff. it's a good idea when you learn a descending riff to learn it ascending as well. the lower octave present other "opportunities" because the notes are not all located the same. this is where the new lucky 13 would be very useful, where you could either twist the riff like you would on a Richter based harp, or you could play it the same way in both octaves. i dropped session steel plates on a new blue moon corian comb.
i am only using 4 notes, root flat7 4 flat 3rd. it does not sound like it, but those are the same notes used on the don nix/freddie king song, going down.
down down down down down, then, i'm going up ... up up up up up.
a good song writer can take a familiar phrase, and change the harmony, write lyrics, and have something that sounds familiar. yet be completely different. a great songwriter will start on different note each time and have 4 completely different songs. this is one way to skin a cat.
its a good exercise if nothing else. thanks for listening. 47
It's a good motif, thank you. Good for playing round and round solo and adding bits and bobs like you did there. I know it's only those old notes again but they bear repeating.
