Hey Rid.

I like the tone and everything.

I'd like to remind you that you aren't doing call and response properly. You gotta wait for the singer to finish a phrase. Then respond with an answer (similar melody) to that phrase. Don't play while the vocals are going.
I just don't like it when ppl do that - I'm like let the friggin' singer sing PLEASE!

Just listen to the way Robben does it - short concise responses to "You should talk to your daughter" - and nothing during it.

I have this problem myself. I just keep rambling with the blues instead of making concise statements one after the other.

No no, you did good. It just takes some work to get the call and response thing going. Plus blues is so much fun to do live! I'm learning lots of Robben Ford right now: Help the poor, rumba blues, start it up, cut me to the bone.

Reminds me by the way: I did Robben's "start it up" at a live jam before. And it turned out great! The drummer and basist really got the whole dynamics together with the quiet verses and loud choruses!

Hey by the way: Can i have that backing track please?

Re: Talk to your daughter....

Ok....I know how to do call and response, blues was about the first thing I ever learned...some +20 years ago
I played it that way out of spite....hehe
And no...I am not going to love to play blues, while I do not mind it and dig what others play, I do not like to play traditional blues myself.
I can do all the right things, but trust me the feel would not be there because I won't put anything in it, I was just bugged by this backtrack..hehe oh my
I like Robben Ford, but it is his fusion and jazzy stuff I dig, I had a few of his blues records and they never meant much to me.
One of the demo's he made once came in Guitarplayer back in the 80's, he made a great version of Talk to your daughter, more funky and not based on the traditional stuff, but I don't have the record anymore...sadly, that was how I liked it to be played, very gutsy and more with a rock approach.
