So, who's up for some "Bluesy" discussion?

Here's a Tune I love to play:

"Desdemona", by The Allman Brothes Band. Great Changes, and I LOVE the way the ABB builds and flows through this Tune. I'm supposed to be in a new band, starting in about 2 Weeks. And, I really want the band to do this Tune.

Anyway, what would you play over this Tune?

Here's the Changes, as I have been playing them:

INTRO CHORDS: l AbM7 Fm l Cm G ll

VERSE CHORDS: l Cm CmM7 l Cm7 Cm6 l AbM7 Fm l

Cm G l Cm CmM7 l Cm7 Cm6 l AbM7 Db l G l

AbM7 Fm l G Cm l AbM7 Db l G ll

CHORUS CHORDS: l C C/Bb l Am7 Am7/G l F F#dim. l G ll


SOLO/BRIDGE CHORDS: l Cm Gm ll (Vamp)

CLIMAX/TRANSITION: l AbM7 Fm l G ll


So, you can see that there are a LOT of cool possibilities. Anyone game? Smile

Okay, I'll start:

You could use CmPentatonic over the whole thing.


Here's another question, what do you think Jimmy might play over this tune?

Well, maybe another "Blues" Topic then?


Anybody ever mess with these Ideas?:

Code:
-----------------------------0-3/4-0-3/4-0----------------------------|-------
------------------------0-3-----------------3-0-----------------------|-------
-----------------0h1-2--------------------------2-0h1-----------------|-------
------------0-2---------------------------------------2-0-------------|-------
--------0-2------------------------------------------------2-0--------|-------
-0-3/4---------------------------------------------------------3/4-0--|-------
 E minor Pentatonic, with added Major 3rd.   

NOTE:  Usually, you always go from the Minor 3rd. TO the Major 3rd.
       Even when descending.

       This move really helps nail-down the sound of a Dominant chord.
                                 

------0----2--0-----------|----------3------|--0--------|-0----------|--------
------0----2--0-----------|------3-5---3h4--|----1/2----|------------|--------
------0h1--2--0h1---------|-2/4------------4|--------2--|---0h1------|--------
---2--------------2-------|-----------------|-----------|--------2---|--------
--------------------------|-----------------|-----------|------------|--------
--------------------------|-----------------|-----------|------------|--------
   E Blues Rhythm Lick       B7               A7           E7                 

--------------7---7-----------------------------------------------------------
--------------8b--8b----------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
     Classic "Blue 3rd." Train-Whistle lick, in E. Bend the G note slowly,
                              and 1/3 to 1/2 way to the G# note.

       The "Blue 3rd." is a very vocal-sounding note. Try it, it's addictive!

179 "Views", and no comments? Rolling Eyes

So, are my ideas hair-brained? Are they just way oof base? Are they so-so? Does no one here like Blues-Based Music(s)?

Is this a Discussion Board? Razz

Nothing?

Really?

Questions? Comments?

Rock On, Rock Soldiers!
