3 O'Clock Blues - homage to B.B. King

First workout of the new home-made telecaster. The body is black limba. Pickups from Vintage Vibe (www.vintagevibeguitars.com/pic.... The neck is from a Mexican tele (got it on eBay). Fender locking tuners. I'm playing straight into Ableton Live using the Amplitube 3 plug-in. I kick in an OKKO Diablo pedal (www.stompbox.de/) for the second half of the solo.

I was just blown away by Michael Jeronimo's playing. As good as the singer is, hearing this as an instrumental would have been a real musical gift. Michael Bloomfield came to mind as I was listening. I feel some of his very best was showcased on the Super Session recording with Al Kooper. Bloomfield created magic without vocals by Kooper or anyone else. Michael Jeronimo created the same type of magic here. **Edited** I've come back a couple of times to listen to this. I've quickly come to readjust my feeling of the vocal. It's done in a way that I think B.B. King would approve, no screaming, growling or histrionics. The important thing, though is Michael Jeronimo's incredible playing. There are many styles of what we consider blues, but on a Friday night, after everyone in the house has slipped off to bed, this tune played this way is the epitome of what I think of when I want to hear the blues.

I am a giant BB king Fan and a guitar player ( sort of), I've been playing for about going on 6 years and I still sound like I'm just playing fancy scales, you have the soul that I am looking for in my blues playing. Any advice you may have no matter how small would most likely give me a better understanding of what I am attempting to play. I've been using the Thrill is gone and other slow to fast BB tunes. Awesome playing man, I got the chills.

@michaeljeronimo 2 жыл бұрын

Yeah, I love B.B. as well. One of my favorites. Thanks for the comments. I try to focus on phrasing. One thing I wold recommend is to listen to singers and sax players. For example, listen to the first couple verses of Eva Cassidy's version of Stormy Monday (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jsd9damqxJOwf2g.html). Her phrasing and vocal inflections are just amazing. I was also thinking of doing a video on this particular topic as well. I also love Albert King's phrasing. He gets an awful lot of mileage out of bending notes in so many different ways.
