Song: Chaos Blues
Session Date: August 18th 2006
Recording Gear: Victory LT-200 mp3 player
Music Gear: Yairi spanish guitar
Log: I'm amazed how well my new ultracheap mp3-player records. OK, it's got a 8 Khz sample rate, but the mic is quite OK! It does a better job than the headsetmic we bought a while ago.
This blues improvisation was edited in Audacity. Basically, I added iZotope Vinyl. As a kid I listened a lot to 'Tupalo Blues', one of the early records of John Lee Hooker. That was before they took him to the city and gave him an electric guitar. All acoustic and magnificently idiomatic and spontaneous. And oh, that deep, dark, warm voice..
Well, too bad I'm a white boy. For a long time I have been dreaming of playing the blues like early John Lee Hooker. I find it hardest to sing the blues, in sync with my guitar. And I find it hard to improvize and switch between strumming and soloing and keeping the rhythm up. But this small afford inspires me to perhaps give it a try again and record some old school blues songs one day.
Lyrics: It is a chaos in my life / Chaos, chaos, chaos.. / How am I ever / Gonna order / All the chaos / All the chaos in my room, in my house, in my mind..
