An improvisation with major chord scale notes over a soul blues progression in G major.

This is first my attempt to improvise in this way.
Maybe more jazzy than bluesy.
What do you think?

Sounds nice! I like the backing track and the melody. It does indeed sound a bit more jazzy -- it is more "refined" and not as "earthy" as I expect blues to be (in other words, it is more smooth than blues, less edgy). But, it still sounds nice; maybe cross genre.
If I were to think of one thing that could have made it better: the melody really dominates; it might have been nice to break up with either some scale runs or some chord based bridge to give it some variety.

Immature? Of course I'm immature Einstein, I'm 50 and in a Rock and ROll band.

Thanks guys for the good words.
Vink, you are are rignt, its bit repetitive.
But I was so glad when the melody parts and new notes just formed up one by one during repetitions. I think a did 5-10 repetitions before I did the recording.
Hum, heard 30 years ago in a strip club.. could be , when I was in my early twenthies, haha
I used the Soul Blues in G (3.25 mb) backing track found on http://www.jam.1gb.ru/mpjam_blues.html .
