Summary

   Midi file
   TablEdit file
   
2. "A Blues Melodic Style." Original composition.
   Author: Mark E. Plutowski, January 2005.
   
   I wrote this simple ditty as an exercise to see if it were possible to do an entire tune in purely melodic style, a la Pat Cloud, as compared to just inserting some melodic style licks into a traditional tune. A simple 12-bar Chicago Blues, A minor, traditional blues style, nothing fancy. This exercise impressed on me the virtue of using the melodic style to treat every single note as melody.
