At our last meeting on Oct. 6, 2018 we had a new guest, Bradley, interested in building and playing a CBG. We started our meeting talking about some of the guitars the members brought. Our discussion topic was, What music theory do we need to know to play 12-bar Blues with others? And, in what order do we need to learn it? The disccussion lasted longer than normal so we didn't have as long to jam. We talked about identifying a major scale in any key and determining the I, IV and V chords from the major scale. We also talked about identifying the Dominate 7th chord notes of any chord. We discussed the layout of the dominate 7th chord box for our G2-D3-G3 tuned guitars. Barry enlightened us with the major Blues Pentatonic scale.
We all jammed to a 12-bar blues song.
I need to have cell phone numbers for members in case we have a last minute issue.
The next Carolinas Box Guitar Club meeting, #34, will be Saturday, November 3, 2018 from 11:00 am to 2:00+ pm in the back room of Big Al's Pub & Grubberia, 9306 Albemarle Road Charlotte, NC 28227, 704-567-2333. It's behind Rite Aid At The Corner Of Harrisburg and Albemarle Roads, across Albemarle Rd. from the Good Will store and about 200 feet back from Albemarle Rd.
If the Big Al's doesn't have a prior reservation, we will continue having our monthly meeting on the first Saturday of each month. Our purpose is to help members develop skills to build and/or play the 12-bar Blues on their 3 or 4-string, fret-less, electric, box guitars. We also have some members working on and playing 6-string guitar and bass, and harmonica. We currently have 29 on our email list.
Our discussion topic will be, We will review the music theory we need to know to play 12-bar Blues with others? And, in what order do we need to learn it? Additionally, we will discuss rhythm in Blues. Bring a notebook, this will be important stuff.
Bring your new music projects or cool equipment for show and tell. As usual, we will discuss individual building and playing issues. I think several of the Blues Jam musicians will attend to help with our jamming.
So far, our "Carolinas Box Guitar Club Jam" songs include:
All will use the 12-bar Blues chord structure except Hoochie Coochie Man.
We are playing in the keys of "G", "A", "B", "C" and "D".
We should have a video camera to record our jam for the members that couldn't attend and for our personal quality control.
This should be another exciting meeting. The food and service has been great. Our waitress, Elaine, is also the manager of Big Al's. It's in our best interest to tip her generously. As long as we keep her happy, I think we will have a venue for our meetings.
See you there,
Fred
