Reekas challenge: Blues

[Reeka]

I finally got an idea of something which is worth to call a "lick". It's borrowed from a song - guess which one. But at least the combination of the blues scale and that song is my own thing. It's really fun!

This was my backing track: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=21-Zlf7ZSBU

Ulrike/Reeka from Germany

*23.4., 11:16: supplement & no longer secrets: It was "Sentimental Journey", which came unwillingly into my mind when I was looking for a lick. Sometimes I play the original melody in the opposite direction, f.e. upwards, when the original goes down, and vice versa.

That sounded great Reeka! I tried, but couldn't "find" the borrowed song...

[Ronen from Accordion Love]

Reeka, thank you! What a beautiful accordion and great sound you're getting out of it.
I couldn't recognize the "borrowed song" either, but it looks like you were having a lot of fun with playing, and making it all your own.
Nice work! Thank you

Hi Reeka I liked your blues backing track and your song.

[Rudy1]

Reeka, you picked great notes all over the keyboard. Great job.
I see that 2X4. Is your ceiling falling down?

[Reeka]

Hi, Rudy, what do you mean by 2X4 ? And no, my ceiling is where it should be.

[LouH]

Reeka, love your walk up lick at 3:40, C-F, C-G, C-Bb…
Slowed it down and watched several times to figure out what you’re doing. Thanks for the inspiration

Hey, Lou, thank you for commenting - what I posted more than 2 years ago (with a pandemic hair style). I'm just posting the new blues challenge of this month. There doesn't seem to be much progress though I hoped it to be so.
