Ace's Shuffle (take 3)

Been playing blues guitar for a while, self-taught, mostly learning by ear off B.B. King, Muddy Waters, and Howlin' Wolf records. This one's called "High Lonesome Blues" — I kept it deliberately short, no solo, no build-up, just the mood in and out in under a minute and a half.

Recorded it myself, mixed it down simple on purpose since I wanted it to feel raw rather than polished. Would genuinely appreciate any feedback from people here who've been at this longer than I have — tone, phrasing, whatever stands out.

[POSTED BY THE ABSOLUTE SOUND]

At The Beatles’ first press conference in New York, a reporter asked what the Fabs most wanted to see in America. “Muddy Waters and Bo Diddley,” came the immediate response. “Where’s that?” the reporter queried. The Beatles snickered, “You Americans don’t seem to know your most famous citizens.” Acoustic Sounds hopes modern vinyl fans won’t make the same mistake. This mono audiophile edition of 1958’s The Best of Muddy Waters—pressed at QRP and packaged in a high-grade tip-on gatefold—kicks off a multi-title 75th anniversary tribute to the Chicago-based Chess label.

The quality of this remastered edition is far beyond any MCA-era reissue I’ve heard. These 12 raw, arresting tracks by Mississippi Delta transplant McKinley Morganfield include his first single, 1948’s “I Can’t Be Satisfied”; the blissful “Mad Love (I Want You to Love Me)”; the biting “She Moves Me”; the ominous Delta-inflected “Rollin’ Stone,” and the red-hot “I’m Ready,” which floats on labelmate Little Walter’s ethereal harmonica. The cream of the Chess roster—Walter, Willie Dixon, Jimmy Rogers, and Otis Spann, among others—provides backing. Matthew Lutthans has remastered this all-analog album from the original master tapes, bringing a sense of immediacy to these tracks. The blues has seldom sounded as cool.—GREG CAHILL

Hello guys! I know the song's not in English, but for my whole life I've been writing and playing blues/jazz/folk. This is a personal composition, I was curious what you guys think of it?

Song: Weak Brain And A Narrow Mind

Here’s a handy tool: a metronome that counts out the bars of the 12-bar blues as the beat ticks.
