Weekly Assignment #2 - Blues

Write, record, and upload a Blues song as a reply to this thread. All types of blues will be accepted. That means the finger picking blues of Robert Johnson through Stevie Ray Vaughan or Kenny Wayne Shepherd is acceptable. As with last week's assignment, I'll leave it up to you to decide what counts.

Due Date:

6:00pm on Wednesday, November 11

The Rules:

Write, record, and upload a song in a week that fulfills the assignment.

By "write” I mean the material must be brand new (no using old unfinished ideas). Kudos if you write lyrics with melody along with the backing music (ala, guitar, keyboard, bass, drums, horns).

The recording part is open in that you can make a simple one track tune or a 32 track epic. The quality of the recording only matters in that you get your point across.

To upload just reply to this post and attach your MP3.

The Point:

Stretch your mind and creative potential. Learn how to write in styles different than you’re accustomed to and gain appreciation of other styles of music.


This is really going to be tough for me as I've actually never written a blues song. I can't wait to start and I can't wait to hear what you all come up with!

Unfortunately, we were unable to get our band together this week due to other commitments, but we're hoping to get the song done this weekend instead. Better late than never

Did no one complete this assignment on time? I was looking forward to some hastily-written blues!

Okay, here's one I wrote and recorded and mixed (and mixed, and mixed...) in about three days.
