A blues tune for the Song A Week. I did an album worth of acoustic blues back in February, but none of them made it to the Song A Week project. This one kind of just popped out while I played the guitar.

Every time I see you
You just turn the other way
I tell you that I need you
You just turn and walk away
Then you call me like a dog
You keep me running after you

You say you're comin' over
But then you say you just can't stay
You say we'll be together
But it just can't be today
You got me rollin, like a dog
You keep me running after you

I called your momma on the weekend
She said you just can't talk right now
She said you'd call me on a Tuesday
But you said you lost my number somehow
You got me beggin', like a dog
You keep me running after you

If I ever learned to play the guitar, T.C., I'd hope that something like this would just "pop out".  :D

Nice blues tune here.  ;)

Thanks, Donna. I've updated the file so the real demo is being played.

You mean what I listened to was a figment of my imagination? ;D

Well... no. It was missing the second verse and I'm not sure the vinyl effect was in effect.. erm.. or something. But at any rate, it should be more better now.

I like it! How long do you think will it take until I can play like that? Is there any hope for me? :D

Now thats good.  Your voice is perfectly suited for this kind of tune.  Great line there.  I only wish you recorded natural acoustic instead of plugged in.  That plugged in acoustic piezo sound always drives me crazy.  Other than that, fantastic song.

Alternate Tunings: CAUTION: your fingers have to be in different places
