Greetings from Africa. I really appreciate all kinds of comments about this. That simple backing track I’ve played with the guitar only. My voice does not reach very high so I replaced Howling Wolf's whooo-uuu with sixth hole over-blow. What do you like about it, mara
I'm trying to remember how I did that with a previous band. My voice would do the whoo-uu but the p.a. was so crappy I really had to push. I did it vocally but it turned out I had a polyp on my vocal cord and had to just not sing or talk loud for 3 months. Which sucked big time.
That harp thing works. ---------- Music and travel destroy prejudice.
Ok, but I have here only one riff and when using a loopper it's difficult to have more. Asked on the other site, so I put the TABs of the riff also here -2+6-5(-4'-4-5-4)+4-3-2 and those in parenthesis played quite fast.
I thought there was too much effect on the harp and vocals to really judge, but work ons seem to be that your tone is a little thin, and intonation and clarity could be better. On vocals, you can further work on the phonetics of reducing your (Finnish?) accent, and I'd suggest that you practice blues scales in E as at times you're simplifying the melody to make it more monotone. Also listen more to the vocal phrasing that Wolf and others use.
The traditional riffs are (more or less)
-2 -2 -3' -4 -5 -4 4 -3' -2
-2 -2 -2'' -4 -5 -4 4 -3' -2
You can swap the 2nd and 3rd notes (of each) up an octave, in which case the first version requires an OB. A Lucky 13 could work well on this track.
There are plenty of riffs you can do that work with the Smokestake Lightening groove, so no need to replicate the main riff all the time. Use riffs that syncopate with the groove
