Tuesday Morning Slept Through Monday Blues

I have been trying to have a new Monday Morning Blues song for you each week. This week I had a wacky Monday. Took some time to sleep, then I took a nap and an afternoon snooze, played some guitar with Frank. By the time I got to recording something for Monday morning I was dog tired, it was 3 in the morning and I didn’t have any voice for the song.

So I thought, “OK, how about an instrumental?” I was thinking about an upcoming JAM at the CAM that I would be hosting on the weekend. I looked around for the loop pedal that I had borrowed from Frank, but couldn’t find it. I sat there in my TV studio wondering “Gee, what could I do?” To make a long story short, this is what you get.

I said to wakitu, “Hey, pick a letter from A to G  and call it major or minor.” She picked B minor. I said, “Hey pick a letter from A to G,” she picked E, and again for G, then F.  So I started with a Bm^7th and made the E an E^9th. I played them for around 8 go-rounds but I think I lost count at some point. Anyway, then I threw in the G and I liked an F# rather than the F for the turn around. I used a couple of different modes for the solo and they aint all good notes, but overall, having never played that before in my life, not too bad.

I have a new song. I call it “Run.”

The only thing is, I went to sleep and had to record the solo today. So, Tuesday morning gets the blues this week. Enjoy!
