Steve, thanks for setting out the steps for how to complete a song using a ‘hook’ in advance. You have completed Part 1 and Part 2. Really enjoyed the creative layers and especially incorporating the harmonica, and of course adding the vocal rap and the feet . You are a fast achiever with great results.

A bass hook is a great idea. Well composed and played.
Thanks for all the work you put into this, it was very entertaining. It stood up to the high standard of Sunjamr creativity.

Wow the harmonica really is awesome

Another composition. Sounds great and extremely creative, but way over the top and over the 30 seconds making it more into a song.

If there’s a more original cover of a J.J. Cale song, I’ve yet to hear it. That was such a lot of fun. The bass hook drew me in from the start with that rhythmic pulse and my feet were already tapping before the foot finale. So creative. You went the extra mile but it was worth it. 🙌

Love the humour in this performance, Steve – had me grinning from ear to ear 🤣🤣. Also an excellent groove and feel you had going there – wonderful stuff 👏👏 – Mark 👍🎶😎

More a hook collection, Steve. But it totally works. I think the first rap song I hear from you, and it was a blast!

Yep a hook medley, lots of creativity here , I think that bass is the driver though with the catchy groove .
I can hear the JJ Cale influence.

Haha! Loved it Steve! 2 min of smiles! Those feet were movin’!

Awesome, Steve. You da Man!! Great bass riff hook that makes it all hang.
Larry

Man that bass is super funky and catchy! Love the rap, and the feet 😂 awesome job

I would call that a super funky hook Steve. And good on ya mate for adding all the extra bits! Very enjoyable and entertaining.

Nice song Steve…very creative. Cheers. Pap

Steve
I do like the idea of a bass hook… really well done. This was clever and fun… love your Strat tone…. goes so well with the bass but man love the clogging thing, the vocals/rap and of course the ‘Yeahs’ are signature. Great harp playing. Yeah!!
I would definitely hold on to this… It’s got a lot of potential….would be a great jam song to play in a bar for hours!!!

I’m impressed-John

What can I say…everything is very beautiful…brilliant

That’s a hoot Steve! At first I wasn’t sure but once it all came together that was a lot of fun. Great grooves and instrumentation.

BTW, I forgot to mention that the hook is the first 12 bars of bass line, which lasts about 31 seconds. The follow up stuff was just keep me from getting bored. I didn’t want the the hooky bass line go to waste.

Watch Brian say next “OK, for this months challenge, turn your hook into a song.” 🙂 That was a great bass line and definitely hooked us in.

Cool show Steve.
Great bass hook.
Nice shoes collection.

Loved your funky rap Steve! An enjoyable and catchy song, for sure your bass line is addictive and definitely a hook! Not to mention the overall song production, harmonica, vocals and so long.

Steve, I don’t care about the remit this month – I enjoyed this so much whatever it was. You remind me, regularly, that this guitar lark is about having fun and being craetive. Being creative means being playful, conecting with that child within and giving him some room to express. Fantastic, great fun, entertaining and yes – hooky! Well played.

Nice one, Steve. I tried my hook idea on bass, too, and it would gave worked there, too. I’m not surprised that you got carrued away and made a full fledged music video production out of this challenge. I guess that will be our follow up challenge, but we’ĺl see.

Thank you very much for this one, Steve. Very creative take on the challenge. The hook feels original and your playing is clean and expressive.

Werner

Man, you are multi-musical, I really enjoyed it 👍

You’re so right about the bass hook, Steve! So many great songs rely on their bass intros/hooks, I was tempted to try that myself. I laughed when you mentioned getting “all your feet” synchronized in the description but then I realized that yes, you did indeed have more than just two feet to sync, haha! 👣🤣👣🤣👣😅👣😂👣

What a creative and innovative production, loved every bit of it. I also second everything Gary W said about connecting with your inner child and having fun with music. You do exactly that and we, the audience, just love it!

Excellent performance.

Dieter

The bass riff was all we asked for but there was no stopping Sunjamr! You squeezed a lot into 2 minutes. Took a while, as you say, but it was time very well spent.

you shame me with your excellent videos

The whole piece made me smile though you probably fulfilled the hook part with the bass alone 🙂
