BB King jam 'Thrill is gone' updated with new recording

Well, you already now I thought it was good. I would like to hear more from that guitar, it sounds really good.

Hey thats pretty good, did you record all those parts yourself?

Thanks Dneck and Niklas
The lead guitar its me, but the other instruments is a backing track.
I have uploaded a better recording with less "faults" and a better BB King settings on the V-Amp.

haha I was gonna say that bass and keyboard were keeping unbelieveable time. The guitar in the new version sounds better, it seems subdued though, I just mean there is room for a faster line (like the bassline for instance is normally faster then your lead). The notes sound good, but I would try to pick it up sometimes only for a few seconds at a time when the song leaves the fills open.

I think I'm listening to the one you put up today.

Very nice. You for sure caught the sentiment and tone.

Guitar sounds like it response to your request. The bends were nice.

Sounds pretty sweet. 8)

good job

Sounds really good!

I think you could incorporate a little rubato, not keep quite such strict time all the way through, sometimes come in just after the beat instead of right on the beat. Makes it a little more soulful, IMO.

Great job!

Margaret

Thanks for the nice critic.
Margaret, you are right about the "rigidity" in my playing, but I see this "jam" as more of a exercise with full bends and vibratos on my new guitar, than a improvisation jam.
Full bends on the a1 string is still very painful on the fretting ringfinger, but it´s getting better....

I will probably put up a new recording where I change the solos in some of the verses with other BB King licks.

Kalle

Woah, that sound came out of a Yamaha (hopefully no offense)? Sounds great. Great touch, I wonder what you'd sound like if BB King let ya' borrow Lucille for a bit.. heh.

Hope to hear more, nice work.

As a side note, Kalle, my son and I went to BB King's 80th B'day Tour concert a little less than a year ago. It was quite the experience!

His personality shone as beautifully as his playing. What a warm (and cool!) man! 8)

Margaret

Ah, thats the good thing living in the big Blues country and not nearly at the North Pole.
Be able to listen to big guys live....

What a luck.

Kalle

Actually, B.B. King was here in Sweden last year. The problem is, sometimes when the big guys come, they perform in Gothenburg instead of Stockholm. I guess we live in the wrong city Kalle!

You really have your Blues groove going, vry nice :D
