I seldom watch an entire video, but this caught my attention the whole time through. This should serve as an inspiration to you — just follow your own path and you will set yourself free.

If you have a few more minutes, how about this:

And here’s the result:

So there you have it — my secret method of creating multitrack blues videos, with drums, bass, rhythm guitar, lead guitar and solo and group vocals, up to a total of 8 distinct tracks, and I don’t have to ship them over the internet, match them up in sync, or wait a couple of weeks to get the tracks.

I’ll be going over the secret of multitrack blues videos at this morning’s meeting, so don’t miss out on it — be there!

Gotta go — have posted a buncha videos, and I’m mighty tuckered out. Maybe I’ll see you at the morning ZOOM ROOM.

See You At The Top!!!

Hesitation Blues New Lyrics by Gorby Compared to Gary Davis & Jorma Kaukonnen

April 22, 2015Uncategorizedblind gary davis, blues, dave van ronk, ejgold, gary davis, gorby, gorebagg, hesitation, jorma kaukonnen, procrastination blues, rev gary davisgorebagg

I woke up this morning at half past four
Hesitation blues came knocking at my door.
Tell me, how long, do I baby, have to wait
Can I let you know? Why must I hesitate?

Ain’t no use in me
Working so hard,
Got me two good women
Workin’ in the rich folks’ yard. Continue reading →

Tell a Story, Sing a Song

If there are any Official Secrets to Music, these are they:

1. Tell a Story — this simply means any story about the simple nursery song that you’ve selected for this exercise (such as “Mary Had a Little Lamb”, or “Jack & Jill” or “Sing a Song of Sixpence” — any story will do, including that there isn’t one, ie; a rambling exploration of random notes and measures. Usually it means a story, pure & simple, describing the song’s major points, such as the fact that the farmer lived in a dell, had a wife, many chicks, ducks, geese, horses, cattle, swine, and a couple of wild and crazy dogs with a penchant for handouts. A story like that generally begins with a beginning, goes on a while in the middle, and stops at the end. The MIDDLE part is generally about the obstruction, the pain, the misery or the angst of it all. A typical song story is “my baby done left me”, whether you hear it in blues, folk, pop, ballad, country-western, jazz or classical, it’s always about relationships of one kind or another. That’d be human/human (read as: “human over human”) and bottle/human and a whole chain of seductions that read more or less the same. The story is told verbally before the instrument is sounded. The STORY should NOT take more than 1 minute to tell, especially the “Boy Meets Girl, Girl Gets Drownded, Boy Gets Hanged sort of murder-ballad you’ll find commonly in folk music.

I’ve developed a method for playing guitar that allows you to play very sophisticated and difficult scales without having to learn new chords or retrain your fingers. You’ll use the following chords: E, Em, E7, A, Am, A7, B7, to play in almost all the keys. You will instantly be able to fake solo leads using my simple lead chart. You can’t make a mistake, there’s nothing to go wrong. Total simplicity is the key to this easy to learn guitar cheat. In addition, I’ve developed backing tracks that allow you to remain at your present undeveloped skill level while still sounding absolutely pro. You can use this for holiday gatherings, and blow the minds of friends and family with your apparent skills at blues, jazz, hip-hop, ballad, pop, dance, rock, r&b, latin, reggae, folk, bluegrass, fusion, country and more!!! Each backing track CD has an entire show of about a dozen tunes, and you’ll sound incredible on ALL of them, I guarantee it! You can order the CDs now — see the titles above to order. The CDs will be available in a few days. Download options are being explored even as we speak. Oh, I almost forgot to mention it, but I have a set of backing tracks that will make you sound like the greatest jazz and blues flute player on the planet. Coming soon, a set of backing tracks that will make you sound like the greatest blues harp player in the Western Rim of the Galaxy Milky Way (strictly a local name — we Outer Limits Folks (OLFs) refer to your galaxy as “Shnarg”. I won’t translate, for fear of reprisals.

See You At The Top!!!

Government Meltdown Blues

( Bm – Em – Am7 – Bb7 )

I thought I’d weigh in on the subject of the most recent government shutdown as a result of a few nasty people in the well-publicized “Caucus Suicide Pact”, a power-hungry political conspiracy which is currently holding the rest of the country hostage.
