Misc recording 12-bar blues

[MandyH]

OK, so it's not the most exciting recording, but for the MOOC that I am currently doing, I had to record a blues riff using (concert) C minor pentatonic over a 12-bar blues.
the guidelines were to play the same passage over bars 1 & 2 and bars 5 & 6, and to rest in bars 3, 4, 7 & 8, then to play an "answer" in bars 9 & 10 to the "question" raised in bars 1 & 2.
Hope that bit makes sense!

Yep! That works.

Like it, nice riffage! What's a MOOC? I thought it might be short for Moo Cow, but why would a Moo Cow be demanding 12 bar blues riffs? That's the kind of bull (if you will) that Baa lambs get up to...

MOOC = massive open online course.
Basically a free course offered by a university that anyone of any background can do.
This one is run by Berklee, through Coursera, and is called Developing your musicianship.
Mainly it focuses on Ear-training.
