Blues in A - 1/2 Step Down (Original)

Just fooling around with some random blues stuff this week in an attempt to expand and improve on my music knowledge.

This little piece isn't anything special, but I had fun making it. It'll hopefully serve as a benchmark for me to look back to once I've practiced a bit more.

Hope someone enjoys it!

diggin what you're doing just a quick question is the whole guitar tuned down 1/2 a step or just the low E ?

@bigbomber316 - Thanks for the feedback! I'm glad you enjoyed it. As for your question, the whole guitar is tuned down 1/2 a step.

DISCLAIMER: I'm notorious for not taking the time to properly tune my guitar. So, I wouldn't be a bit surprised if I'm actually slightly above or below that magic 1/2 step down mark ;-)

Awsome... tabs please

[FussenKuh]

Thanks! Sorry, there's no tabs for the song. It's just a bit of improving I came up with. As the name would suggest, at it's heart, it's a 12-bar blues jam in the key of A. That probably doesn't help much, but it's all I can offer you at this point ;-)

how long have you been playing for brotha

[FussenKuh]

Thanks for watching! I've been fiddling around with the guitar on-and-off since the mid-90s

im getting one of these, i played one at first quality music supplies today. its a AJ-500M, and to say the truth, i think it sounds just as good as the $4,000 gibson vintage acoustics.

anyway, great playing and guitar

[LoneDerangerer]

great playing dude! really cool!

i'm thinking of buying an AJ 500M ..was wondering if the frets are as chunky as they say for an acoustic guitar..

[SomeBlueKind]

kind of confused my man. prolly just cause I don't have absolute pitch, or my guitar plugged in atm, but if your are tuned down a half step, and yet you are revolving around the fifth fret A Maj barre chord, how the heck is the song in the key of A when you resolve to the A Maj barre chord position 5th fret to end the song, yet you are supposedly tuned down a half step? Wouldn't you be playing a Bb Maj chord to end the song?

[baseballdude3430]

right on.

Real nice

Thanks for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed it :)

As for the guitar, it's an Epiphone AJ-500M
