This was a difficult one for me to come up with a “Hook” -not sure if that worked 🙂

I liked that one Ruediger, with that catchy refrain you’ve got the makings of a good stand-out Hook.

Well, that certainly worked for me, Ruediger – kind of a call/response tune that I really enjoyed. – Mark 👍🎶😎

Nice arrangement, the central motif is a standout ,I agree with Marks comment works well as a call and response theme .

Hi Ruediger, I think the repeating lick in this one definitely qualifies as a hook. It makes the piece recognizable and gets your toes tapping.

I thought it was a good hook Ruediger. Very old school and authentic blues.

Had all the hallmarks of a good hook to me.
Repeatedly and a sound the listener can easily relate with a grounding in the blues. That’s a fine submission Ruediger. 👍-

Yep, that’s a perfect hook. I should know, since I’ve recently become an expert on hooks, thanks to this challenge.

Back to basics, but honestly transposing a lick like this is textbook hook. Bravo! Just loved the groove and call/response conversation on this.

Thank you Alan well not sure I would call it textbook – but it was the best idea I could come up with

Great blusey hook Ruediger.
Go slow and practice correct technique, and your abilities will dramatically improve.

Variations on a good motif definitely qualifies. Nicely done, Ruediger.

That works, Rüdiger! You can repeat that over and over, like some blues classics have done before!
Take the chance to meet your AM friends on Zoom
The next Meetup will be July
There will be a detailed announcement here in the forum
I look forward to meet you.

Hi Raffaelle
Thank you and yes when watching it again I also realized none of my hands were not in the video – next time I will pay more attention to this 🙂

That has potential, very nice. Has a call and response feel about it, a creative way to take a hook. Will be interesting to see how this develops.

Right on Rüdiger. That’s a hook in my book.
And a good one, too. Because why then would my foot start tapping?!-

Great acoustic blues! Sounded like something from Muddy Waters back in the day on an old LP coming through the Victrola. It was catchy and snappy and melodic. Well done.John
