Greetings,
Well, my brother calls it a smooth blues :

Sorry I'm such a poor lead player, maybe I'll replace it with a harp solo.
Wish I played the tuba...
Software: Ardour2, JAMin, QJackCtl, BetaMonkey drum loops
Hardware: Ibanez bass (GSR200) & guitar (AEF30), Shure SM58 mic,
AudioBuddy preamp, M-Audio Delta 66 audio interface.
System: 64Studio 2.0 on AMD64 3200.
I wanted to write something that Lonnie Johnson might have liked. I tried...
Best,

Great singing, guitar, harp, just that stumbling drum fill

Oh, and the lack of an intro, everything starting at once
is a bit odd, but ok.
Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for your comments, Thorsten, I'm glad you liked the performance.
About those drums: This was my first attempt sequencing audio loops.
"Sequencing" to me has always meant MIDI sequencing, but of course the
term now extends to the modern concept of audio/MIDI sequencing. So, in
order to stay ahead of my students, I decided to try sequencing some
drum loops and writing a song around the resulting pattern. I made some
interesting mistakes: for example, I have to use "snap to bar" and not
to the region end in Ardour, else the loops gradually get out of sync
with the metronome (I naively assumed the loops were neatly trimmed to
exact bar lengths).
I wasn't going to keep the "stumbling" measure, but it reminds me of the
kind of thing my drummer would do to keep me awake during the wee hours
of a gig. It usually occurs after we've had a "discussion" on our break
out in his van...
Oh, and the lack of an intro, everything starting at
once
is a bit odd, but ok.
More weirdness. After constructing the drum pattern my original plan was
to record a simple instrumental. Then words popped into my head, then I
was singing, then I realized the pattern was too short for intro and
outro sections, so I just said "WTF" and worked with what I had. Maybe
I'll lengthen the whole thing, maybe not. The recording really only
serves the purpose of giving me something to show to my bandmates for
them to learn the tune, so it's not nearly so completely constructed as
a live performance would make it. But sometimes I just get carried away
with Ardour...
Did that make any sense ? ;-)
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for listening (again).

Modern concept and ahead ... first time I used drumloops was in 1997 and
it would have been earlier with the right hardware ;)

Heh, that fits to how I perceive that fill quite well :)

Sure. Nice to have some background.

I also liked the guitar solo in the first version.

Maybe some spoken "One - Two, One two three four" would make it more smooth.
Or the "drummer" doing the tick, tick, tick, tick...

I like odd.
It reminds me of the great jump-right-into-it non-intro to Stevie Ray Vaughan's
"Little Sister". It's jarring, and engaging, and grabs yer attention, like
starting a novel in the middle of a fight scene.
Lovely hollow-body guitar sound, and excellent comping. Great harp solo too.
It might be worth grabbing the snare hits (in Ardour or whatever sequencer you're
using), and scooting them forward a few milliseconds after the beat, to digitally simulate
the slowed reaction times usually obtained by giving the drummer a few more shots of
whiskey.
