Jamming Zone week 01 | Instrumental parts of my G-blues Original Song "Shotgun Wedding"! [Eng-Esp]
(Traducción al español al final del post)
Hello everybody on HIVE, and especially the Music Zone Community. My name is Jasper and I'm writing (and singing) to you from France. (I usually live in Cape Town, South Africa and will be flying home tonight)! Welcome to Week 1 of the Jamming Zone, a brand-new initiative by !
In this initiative, we are supposed to be jamming and improvising (so I hope is aware, as this is his bread-and-butter!).
When I get home, I could probably use a loop pedal to create a chord structure to improvise over. For now, while I only have a guitar and a harmonica, perhaps I should just demonstrate some of the instrumental parts of my original blues song “Shotgun Wedding”.
Here’s a post where I played the song in full: @jasperdick/lwrqblgl
So, this is a song with E-blues chord shapes, but with a capo on the 3rd fret: it is really G-blues!
The harmonica is a C harmonica, but if you emphasise “in-breaths” over “out-breaths”, then it becomes a G-blues harp! (Did you know harmonicas have two reeds per hole so that the “in-breath” sounds different to the “out-breath”? My daughter discovered this pretty well at 13 months old! I was so proud! My wife? Probably not so much! Hahaha!)
All right! I’d better get packing! See you when I’m back in Cape Town!

Hola a todos en HIVE, y especialmente a la comunidad Music Zone. Mi nombre es Jasper y les escribo (y canto) desde Francia. (Normalmente vivo en Ciudad del Cabo, Sudáfrica y volaré a casa esta noche). ¡Bienvenidos a la Semana 1 de Jamming Zone, una nueva iniciativa de !
En esta iniciativa, se supone que debemos improvisar (así que espero que esté al tanto, ¡ya que este es su pan de cada día!).
Cuando llegue a casa, probablemente podría usar un pedal de loop para crear una estructura de acordes sobre la cual improvisar. Por ahora, aunque sólo tengo una guitarra y una armónica, tal vez debería demostrar algunas de las partes instrumentales de mi canción de blues original “Shotgun Wedding”.
Aquí hay una publicación donde reproduje la canción completa: @jasperdick/lwrqblgl
Entonces, esta es una canción con formas de acordes de E-blues, pero con un capo en el tercer traste: ¡es realmente G-blues!
La armónica es una armónica C, pero si enfatizas las “inspiraciones” sobre las “exhalaciones”, ¡entonces se convierte en un arpa de G-blues! (¿Sabías que las armónicas tienen dos lengüetas por agujero, por lo que la “inspiración” suena diferente a la “exhalación”? ¡Mi hija descubrió esto bastante bien cuando tenía 13 meses! ¡Estaba muy orgullosa! ¿Mi esposa? Probablemente no. ¡mucho! ¡Jajaja!)
¡Está bien! ¡Será mejor que haga las maletas! ¡Nos vemos cuando regrese a Ciudad del Cabo!
