I just love Western Swing guitar playing, it's hot and jazz-informed but always with a hint of a wry smile. A lot of Western Swing is humorous music and I enjoy that lightheartedness combined with killer guitar soloing. This song is my own composition and is a take on that style. The batch of videos that came from this lot leave a lot to be desired as regards tone quality but I'm working on it.

In a minor chord environment setting, there is only one Blue Note, the flatted 5th of the root chord. In a Dominant 7th (pure Blues) environment, there are two Blue Notes: the flatted 3rd and the flatted 5th. In a Major 7 chord environment, there are 3 Blue Notes: the flatted 3rd, the flatted 5th and the flatted 7th. Hopefully this wasn't too nerdy for you and you got what I meant!

So, I suppose I was complaining of Facebook about how contemporary hip hop just pisses me off. A friend of mine sent me a YouTube of the tracks to Walk It Talk It minus vocals and suggested I go into the studio and lay down some guitars over it. Turns out, the chord progression is very nice. So it was pretty inspiring for me to lay down the guitar. I have no idea what Migos would think of this. Either way, help me make this go viral!
