Blues improv in C

[TBman]

First excursion into the nether realms outside of the key of E (in signature below). I have to work on my thumb a bit more. I keep forgetting to do the bass.

I'm learning from Toby Walker's "Blues Fingerpicking Freedom" DVD 1. I've been going over the C section a lot this week, learning my 3rds, flatted 3rds, 5ths, flatted 5ths and 6ths. I think I'm going to try to learn where they are in the Key of C up and down the neck before I get into the rest of the DVD. Doesn't make any sense to rush through it. There has to be a bunch of C F and G triads all over the neck too.

I've got the 2nd DVD too. I'll be busy for a while.

Thanks Cl. Maybe in a year or so I'll actually know what I'm doing.

Sounds good, Barry! Might want to pull your levels up a little next time or add a compressor.

Love the guitar tone for the blues and like the beat. Good job. I found that I have to log on with "Google" to listen to Soundcloud, lol

Re: Soundcloud; that's odd. I'm going to try from IE and see what happens.

Thank you bg63! Toby has a few new ones too that I want to buy. After my busy season or near the end anyway,

Solid rhythm, sounds good - kind of an old time 78 blues record vibe.
