I've Got the office Blues!!!!

[Badger (4FingerPhil)]

Morning folks. I have the office Blues! rather than working, I thought it would be nice to play guitar instead! why not!! Using the BB KING style lesson LEG012 backing track, I tried to use a very slowed down Lick 6 from the Mixing The Major and Minor Pentatonic Scales – EP130. I find I can just manage this sort of speed, with big breaks in between to think about the next move. Oh, how I dream of the day that I can noodle all over the neck and it sounds ok, still waiting for a light bulb moment how it all fits!, have a good day everyone, cheers Phil

I’ll have to come and buy a gate and bring my guitar with me!

Soon be up on that stage!

Andrew

Very cool . Yea I’m at that stage in life where I got that ” I just can’t tell everyone where they can go just yet ” blues

Hi Badger,

No. I wasn’t feeling too good and I thought I needed to be feeling fit to risk playing.

Will be going to the next one if I’m ok. It’s a bugger getting old!

Cheers,

Andrew

Some nice licks there, and they definitely work at this slower tempo. I wish I could do this here in our office, but colleagues would probably protest 🙂 Now I can’t wait to get home!

Very, B.B. like. Nicely done, Phil. What office has two guitars on the wall and one in your lap?
Did I hear the phone ringing away while you played on?

[StratPlus66]

He’s English! “The phone? Somebody waiting on the other end? They’ll still be there when I’ve finished what I’m doing”! It’s made us what we are today! Only joking Phil – I know you have fifty staff to answer the phone!

Very nice work. Your soloing follows my 2 main rules (keep it simple and leave plenty of space). Your call/response phrasing is very good and I also like your use of the lower strings which we often ignore.

Hi Phil, nice job……I mean nice playing!! You have your priorities straight for sure…

Be well,

Roberto

Well Done Phil!

You are really moving around the fretboard. I would jam with you if we lived closer!

Cheers Guys! My business partner is away for a month on a Caribbean cruise, so I am “looking after” things whilst hes away! Timber production is down(or lumber as you Americans say) guitar productivity is up!! Yey!!!!

Cheers

Nicely played Phil. I see you’ve got your got your priorities right when it comes to work or the guitar. Great to see you back into playing again after your recent set-backs.
Cheers, Rick

Ha, I know what you mean about the long breaks needed to think about what you’re going to play next. That’s one of the good things about playing BB King style – you can get away with doing that.
