By accident I watched a documentary with Hugh Laurie yesterday and was at once thrown out of the funk mist I currently was roaming around in and I was immediately dragged into a Blues. The documentary was about Hugh recording his album "Let them talk" and a journey through New Orleans with blues as his companion. I'm sure you can find it online somewhere, but I you live in Sweden you can find the documentary here (it may work in other part of the world, but Im not sure).
Never the less, now I cant help myself, I sitting in my music room and playing my guitar (wich I cannot play, since Im a drummer), and trying to learn the blues. A minor blues scale, E Blues scale... up and down in a frustrating low tempo! In the background I have my own recorded blues drum track (damn, Im good! :-P )! After a quick stop at Youtube I discovered this clip that helped me to make the tunes sound a least a bit like blues.
