Wow some crazy good licks in there! I LOVE what you do from 0:20 seconds onwards. Wow!

Bringing this back to the top of forum discussion.  

Craig, I kept thinking EC with Mayall and the Bluesbreakers.  C'est Magnifique!

It is really cool. Craig, did you compose any parts of the solo or was it all improvised?

@robert  I composed this one but play it slightly differently  each time as my feeling at the time dictates how I play. So I have a general framework that has structure that may change slightly each performance leaving room for new ideas to emerge.

@wobbly_bob, Craig, I would still like to know how your excellent solo is integrated into the global collaboration you mentioned.

Thanks for sharing,

Birgit

@bluesiline hi Birgit. It's very simple really. I have several friends around the world who play guitar. We choose a nice backing track and each of us play a solo and record it (video as well). Then we upload our work to the cloud and I then mix the audio and video into one file and share it with the group.

We could do that here at MGA too if anyone is interested. I'm keen! 😊

@wobbly_bobCraig, thanks for your clarifications. Your project sounds great.

Seeing how wonderful you made your video again with the effects, with great attention to detail 👍, I can also imagine how much fun (and work, of course) it was for you to combine all the videos into one.

As for the MGA collaboration, I could easily see a power trio - Robert, Clayton and you - getting such a project off the ground?

Birgit

You bet, we could do that. We did in the past and unfortunately not many participated. We could give it a try though.

@robert I think that's a grand Idea.

And I hope Birgit will join us.

Who is interested.

I will do all the heavy lifting. Sounds like fun!!

What kind of tune would you like? I can try something with Band In A Box.

Hi Craig @wobbly_bob, and @robert,

I can't leave you hanging even though I have weak knees.

You know I'm still very limited with my guitar skills.

I can't improvise yet, but I could learn one of Robert's solos and play it to the backing track you chose.

I could then make a video of it.

Unfortunately I am limited with bpms, Robert, but I would prefer a

12 bar shuffle rhythm in the key of A with 120 bpms.

 

I'm also launching another call to

Clayton, @clayton,

Ron, @matonanjin

Joe, @hillbilly_joe,

André,@stevie-dre

to maybe join in as well?

 

That would be a great commitment of the MGA members 👍 .

 

As Craig put it so well:

Sounds like fun!!

Birgit

@bluesiline I'm not the best player, but this seems a nice challenge to try. So I'm in too, just like you Birgit. 😀 🎸
