Playing the Blues challenge by Don

[Don G]

Well, here is my contribution to the blues challenge. First time I ever try playing the blues so this is a good intro for me.
I find it hard to improvise. I practiced all month and I found it hard to get in the groove. I will continue doing backing tracks as it is a good practice tool, as Ronen suggested.
All in all, this was a good learning experience and most of all, it was fun! Sorry I had my head down most of the time.
Thanks to my wife for being patient with me and for her feedback.

Good one Don, looks like your well on your way to making up some nice licks.

Hi Don,
I liked the dynamics you were working with...the pulsing from loud to soft and vice-versa, really cool.
You also nailed the ending!
Nice job!

[Ronen from Accordion Love]

Don, what a great first attempt! Your notes are coming through loud and clear! And like anything, the more you do it the better you get. And good work with the improv... It's not easy to not play with notes

Thanks Don!

Don, great rhythm. Also, a confident approach to melodic improvisation makes this video a fun one to watch.
