This piece is a simple 12-bar blues in E. The main 12-bar verse was written in one sitting a few weeks ago. The solo that I take the third time through the 12-bar form was written last night.
The whole song uses the E blues scale. I emphasize the Bb 'blue note' often. The hardest thing about the piece is the little vibrato placed on sustained notes in the melody. I usually got it in this recording, but I miss it a few times.
The main influence on this composition was probably Howlin' Wolf's "Spoonful." I used my Walden Natura DC550CE for this recording.
Mmm Tasty : )
