So, I love playing over slow blues and one of the cool things about it is you don't have to do much.
[Ab] I just used three notes.
I used the C, the E flat and the F.
And I bend them and I slurred them
and I tried to basically put as much feeling and expression into those three notes as I can.
[D]
First chorus in one octave and then the second chorus we just take it up
an octave but it's the same three notes and we're just developing a theme over the blues
with a very simple vocabulary and worrying about all the other stuff rather than the notes that
makes it sound good.
And that's harder than it seems to get that kind of mileage out of a few
notes but it's a really, really great exercise to clear your head from worrying about scales
and all that kind of stuff and just start feeling and playing the music.
And that's still to this
day when I'm on a gig sometimes I just step back and go I'm just going to start with this simple
idea and you'll find that the new ideas start snowballing out of that by just giving yourself
that kind of break from the technicality of the guitar for a second.
