I introduced myself in the other section, and thought I would post a few of my recent recordings. One is a smooth jazz type song, and the other is a gospel style blues. Thanks for listening, and any constructive critiques or feedback is welcome. :D

Hi tytlblues
I really like the blues piece. Some nice phrasing there.
I listened to both last night at work Nice recording, and nice playing! Great stuff!
Hey thanks guys for the nice comments! Appreciate it very much!

Since this is a lesson/learning-oriented site, care to walk us through the blues changes and substitutions you used? Maybe standard for some, but not me. I can barely make it to the turnaround on a basic blues progression (well, I exaggerate a little, but still...)
Hey thanks, I am away from home for a few days, but I can post the chord changes when I get home. I am no expert either , by any means, just a home bedroom player. Just to be clear that was a commercial backing track, so I had no input on the background music.
As far as the lead playing, it is a BB King style BT in B flat. Mostly I am just using the B flat minor and B flat major pent/blues scale. Mostly working in the first box shape, jumping between the major and minor scale. Then I used the third position, what is commonly called the "BB box" and once again through bending mix and using the minor and major scale.
Not sure what else I can tell you, and hope it helps!!
