More of the same tonight, been having fun playing some more Gary Moore. Sometimes simple can be quite gratifying. I’m still nowhere near fluidly playing the fast bit in the solo but then it’s the same story for just about every other song I’ve been learning so far, I don’t think I can comfortably play any of them at their original 100% speed. It is frustrating sometimes to be forced to deal with the limitations of your own finger muscles but what can you do other than practice with what little time I have to do so?
Anyway, while taking a short break I casually found some youtube lessons for a blues player called T-Bone with interesting accents. Now apparently he was using 9th cords in his style, which I won’t quite be using just yet but the effect he uses sliding from one chord to the next chromatically is something I have been toying with, with mixed results of course, but I may see how it blends in with my own playing. As a matter of fact, I tried some more over the backing track playing and, well was moderately pleased with the results, so good thing I wasn’t able to record anything this weekend.
