Quick TRIO Band Creator Jam #1 – Allman Brother Band style

This is not a full review of the DigiTech TRIO Band Creator “band in a box” style guitar pedal. I just pulled it from the box, plugged in my guitar and amp and started jamming with it.

you plug it in, give it some chords to work with, choose a genre of music and style within that genre and start jamming! It adds an appropriate bass line and drum rhythym for the genre.

Like most free-flowing unplanned jams, you aren’t hoping for perfection, you’re looking for new inspiration and new ideas that pop into your mind in a setting that is somewhat unfamiliar.

Kind of like find a room full of horse manure and thinking; “with all that shit, there must be a pony in there somewhere!”

I’m going to need practice or the digital drummer and bass player will replace me! Haha.

Thanks,
Rick

Blackberry Blossom guitar lesson in style of Tony Rice with tablature

This version of Blackberry Blossom bluegrass song in the style of Tony Rice with guitar tablature, was recorded at 160 beats-per-minute, but he plays it much faster than that….I figured this was about as fast as it would be of any use to anyone who wanted to learn how to play it.

If you want to help me continue to work out these riffs/solos and songs, and particularly, to put out the tab, take a moment to buy and download my cover of “Little Martha” on iTunes. I’d sure appreciate it!

I realize some of you can’t afford it, so that’s cool…but I know some of you can. If you can’t maybe add one of my songs to your spotify (or other streaming service) playlist, or hit the Paypal Donate button. That would be cool too!

It’s a better world when we all do our part.
Thanks,
Rick

Blues riff in the style of Dickey Betts – You Don’t Love Me – Macon City style

This riff is in the style of Dickey Betts as played on “You Don’t Love Me” off the Macon City Auditorium concert album.

If you want to help me continue to work out these riffs/solos and songs, and put out the tab, take a moment to buy and download my cover of “Little Martha” on iTunes. I’d sure appreciate it!

I realize some of you can’t afford it, so that’s cool…but I know some of you can.

It’s a better world when we all do our part. Please don’t just take and run…not cool.

Thanks,
Rick
