I told Phil we needed work-in-progress recordings, so I suppose I should eat my dog-food as well. Here is a practice recording at 90% of T-Bone Walker's "Glamour Girl". soundcloud.com/joachim-dahl-1/glamour-girl-work-in-progressThere are wrong chords and notes, and it's at 90%, but I thought I upload it to give an idea of what I am working on and show how cool the T-Bone Walker play-along compositions by Hal & Leonard are. |

Great tone there, Joachim. Very T-Bone-ish. I haven't tried anything from this book yet, but you just inspired me to start. I'm feeling myself being pulled more an more towards this Jazzier side of Blues.
I think there are at least 2 instrumentals. The other songs are, unfortunately, missing the vocals which kind of leaves a big hole. They do, however, have some great guitar solos. You should be able play along with T-Bone's originals after learning these tunes. Which might be fun. It sounds like they are note for note from the originals.
Anyways, nice job. And keep those recordings coming.

I don't think anyone would notice the tempo unless they really was familiar with the song or you told them. |

Thanks for listening!
Bruce, I'll probably buy that collection - I heard one T-Bone Walker recording of Glamour Girl on youtube, and I think that the play-along arrangement has a nicer jazzier sound. The original recording was also cool, but has more of an old big-band'ish sound - or so I remember it.

The original recording was also cool, but has more of an old big-band'ish sound - or so I remember it. I not a fan of the big band 1940's style blues, but I do love T-Bone's guitar. Here's a version without the big band: I don't know what album this is on, but it definitely was in his later years by the sound of his voice. I like this version much more than the original. PS. the photo is of Albert Collins, but this is T-Bone Walker singing and playing. |
