Well done Richard !
I first heard it as the Grateful Dead played it, but liked the version by Van Morrison even better.Thanks for sharing
Jim
Thanks - yes, me in my youth thought this was one of the best songs they'd written, and as time went by it seems almost everybody has done a cover somewhere in their career ... !
Cheers
Richard

Here is a blues song I wrote ( I will post shortly in songwriting as well)
Any chance you can play it? I'm never sure if I've got the right feel for the song with only chords ..
Cheers
Richard
This is St. James Infirmary blues, which is a song I know from the Perth band The Triffids:
This is the chord sequence https://www.chordie.com/chord.pere/www. … 67347.html - although the words I know are slightly different.

Cheers

It's getting colder here, and I'm feeling that effect - but it's better than waking to an empty bladder and a cold wet bed

This is a recording of my song The Life I left Behind.

Nice, are you mixing this to get volumes, or just one microphone in the room? Guitar volume needs to come up a bit ...
Cheers
Richard

Cool - it was like a jazzy blues ... enjoyed it!
Cheers
Richard
neophytte, LOVED IT!!! that was awesome to watch, very impressive. Why aren't you playing BLUES more often?
Thanks! I'm writing a song around it ... but haven't got all the lyrics down yet ... content for a blues song has (pretty much) all been done before!!
Cheers
Richard
I've always been curious about what defines a "folk" song as opposed to a "pop song on acoustic guitar" - and it appears that it's generally an old
The term, Folk Song, originally meant songs that were so old that no one remembered who wrote them. It was pretty clear cut.
However time has transmorgified the meaning, and it's now generally refers to an artist on an acoustic guitar, although when I went to the Wikipedia page on it, there was a whole different definition, including differing countries traditional and folk songs:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folk_music
So, after that research ... I still don't know

I did this little 'noodling' blues tune (which is kinda like my warm up for practice):

Enjoy! This was take 2 ...
Richard
He's pretty good used to be a street musician in venice california check his stuff on you tube http://www.slotforum.com/forums/index.p … 95&hl= Plays all the instruments on this vid
Oh wow, I haven't been to SlotForum for a while, I think a couple of our HO club tracks got mentioned on there ...
Cheers
Richard
hows about another type of music as well,my blues is really bad.
I think you'd be surprised at the ones you already know ... anything based around this pattern:
is a blues song, (where I=G, IV=C and V=D ... or I=A, IV=D and V=E would be blues in G or A respectively) and sometimes it's more the feeling of the song, like some of Bob Dylans songs sound bluesy because of his voice.
Cheers
Richard
I'd consider anything done by Clapton to be blues ... so Alberta, Alberta .. and Layla, etc ...
Cheers
Richard
Cool, always good when you can "gel' with another muso and rip out some good tunes!!!
Cheers
Richard
I did this song at the music club:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zkHgevQXio4
I guess it's folk, or maybe folk-rock ... I'm terrible at pigeon-holing stuff .... anyway, enjoy!
Cheers
Richard

Nicely done neophytte, liked the added reverb on the vocals would added to it. An oldie but a goodie.
Thanks!
Cheers

Wikipedia came up saying it was Pop whereas I have always thought it was Blues
My kids are always telling me information on Wikipedia is skewed, but I always say it's crowd sourced and vetted, so it should be correct - but here I would agree with you, I'd consider it Blues and not Pop, so perhaps Wikipedia is not the "source of truth" I thought it was.
But yes, great song in a great movie!! I still have the VHS cassette of it from when my old video player remote was still connected via a wire ... !! I watched it again about 1 or 2 years ago, still a great movie (unlike the sequel).
Cheers
Richard
Here is a re-write of a song I had written...... now its more like rocking blues
I must admit I find it hard to "visualize" songs that are written and not sung - any chance you could play it for us?
Cheers
Richard
Make sure you get the chordpro formatted song for your external application - it's under the "eye" icon and should have the chords within square brackets and in-line (eg " ... this is a [G] song ... ").
Cheers
Richard
