Wrote an opening theme for it to build on top of into my improv and my playing came out sounding fusion-y.
Not blues, but hey fusions just a child born from blues 🤌🏽
Cut me some slack, I know I should have buttoned up. I had to shut my windows to avoid disturbing the neighbors, and my 40 year old A/C just ain’t blowing cold anymore. I just threw on whatever I had lying on the floor to cover up. But it’s made of some cheap polyester and after 10 takes had me sweating like a pregnant nun.
But hey, at least the tits are covered. Coulda went tits out, but some of y’all be brutal with the slut-shaming 😭
Always wanted to learn the badass horn parts of this song and always got discouraged when it got too challenging. But the new band I joined recently suggested to cover this song and I was tasked to learn it as best I can and I took that as a personal challenge for me to see how good my ear and technique has become when my bandmates put their faith in my abilities to lock it down.
The drummer enlightened me about a salsa technique called “montunos” and encouraged me to learn how to do them but I still haven’t quite grasped it as I thought I would. But I’ll continue working on it.
