back to the blues

well, why the switch to the blues?  basically, it takes fewer right hand gestures than ragtime.  I'm using a slow speed setting on the amp blues track.  I'm hoping that I can play a few minutes and come up with something interesting, and keep the wrist in good shape.  Still doing daily stretching, and it seems to be helping.  Slow is the key.

Also used a mic this time on the amp, and the results are really nice.  better than plugging the guitar straight into the computer.  now i can have the reverb that gives it some depth.  Also liking the bridge pickup on the stratocaster.  it's feeling more crisp than the hum buckers on the other guitars.  don't mind the auto-correct on this blog.  it has a limited vocabulary!
